Description
Host Luke Tipple welcomes two guests to discuss how researchers can kill sharks in the name of science – and whether they need to at all. The first is Dr. Neil Hammerschlag, shark researcher and founder of Atlantic Shark Expeditions, and an expert on data-gathering in the field. He’s followed by explorer Fred Buyle, a world-record-breaking freediver whose innovative methods of shark tagging are explored. Plus, our researcher Sierra tells us about how a 50-year study changed our understanding of tiger sharks – and much of the work wasn’t even done by scientists.Find episode transcripts here: https://shark-weeks-daily-bite.simplecast.com/episodes/do-scientists-need-to-kill-sharksLuke Tipple on YouTube and InstagramDr. Neil Hammerschlag on Instagram and TwitterFred Buyle on InstagramShark Week on Twitter and InstagramDiscovery+ on InstagramMore info on today’s Shark Bite can be found here
