Are you fascinated by sharks, especially those that are found around the coasts of

the United States? If so, you should consider a career as a shark scientist. Shark

scientists use satellite-tracking devices, called tags, to study and track the

movements of sharks. By analyzing the data transmitted by the tags, scientists are

able to learn more about the biology and ecology of sharks. Their research is

helpful in protecting shark populations around the world.

Tag, You’re It!
