2019 Ep 6 - Great White Sharks with Dr. Oliver Jewell
On this episode I speak to Great White Shark expert Oliver Jewell. Oliver has been researching Great Whites for over 10 years around the world, tagging, tracking and learning to understand their behaviour, he recently published the first findings of the great whites hunting in Kelp forests that has grabbed the attention across the globe.
The great White sharks generate a lot of media hype with many mixed opinions on the Apex Predator, a lot without valid information. Aiming to broaden the understanding of these magnificent creatures Oliver and I discuss many controversial topics that surround the great white like culling, drum lines, cage diving and safety as well as learning about the research involved in the sharks behaviour, hot spot areas, distribution, reproduction and answering questions from the public.
