Will local waters reveal mystery of where and how great white sharks mate?
The Outer Banks always seems to have quite a number of great white sharks offshore in late winter and early spring. Maybe it’s migration; maybe it’s something else. Mark Price, writing for the Raleigh News & Observer, tells what OCREACH and research is learning about where and how the most fearsome of sharks mates.
“One of the many mysteries surrounding North Carolina’s Outer Banks is why the islands attract throngs of great white sharks this time of year, and a group of marine researchers has an unsettling theory.
This tourist’s paradise is also where the sharks gather to violently mate.
Circumstantial evidence supporting this idea has been building for years, but a first-of-its-kind expedition to find proof launches Friday from Wilmington, N.C.”
