UNC scientists have been chasing sharks for 45 years
Posted Aug 6, 2017
It’s just after dawn as shark scientists gather in front of UNC’s Institute of Marine Sciences, waiting to make a trip to sea in a search for sharks that has lasted decades. Frank Schwartz’s longline shark survey has sailed the waters off the coast of North Carolina through the spring, summer and fall for the past 45 years, making it the longest running shark research program in the country.
