Shark Expedition and Research Insights

The video follows a daring expedition tracking tagged great white sharks to the SOFA, a shared offshore foraging area. The team aims to understand the sharks' activities and survival strategies during their six-month stay. They employ an endoscope to study the sharks' diet non-invasively.
