Shark Movements, Food Webs and Flower Gardens with Brett Sweezey

Tagging hammerheads, tracking silky sharks and exploring a remote coral paradise in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico…This week, we’re diving into the fascinating world of shark trophic ecology with PhD researcher and SOSF project leader Brett Sweezey! Brett is investigating the interactions between predators and prey, and how they influence where sharks go amongst the unique habitats of the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary. Join us as we discuss the innovative methods Brett is using, some fascinating early findings, and the challenges and triumphs of studying these incredible creatures in their natural habitat.
