Shark ecologist Dr Charlie Huveneers, from Flinders University & SARDI, is leading a study regarding the affect of cage diving operators on the behavior of white pointers. These sharks are protected because they are endangered. The study aims to ensure that shark cage diving is safe for both the divers and the sharks. Eight sharks had been tagged by the research team by 25/9. Up to 20 sharks are to be tracked by the researchers to determine whether or not shark berleying affects their behavior.
