Blacktip Reef Shark!

Meet a "bendy" shark with beautiful features. Learn what it's like to photograph this striking and shy species, what it takes to catch/tag it for science, and what it needs to thrive. Our guests are Kydd Pollock (fisheries science manager for The Nature Conservancy's Palmyra Program) and Jenn Caselle (research biologist with UC Santa Barbara’s Marine Science Institute).
