Spotting a white shark while diving along the California coast is still a rare thrill, but as ocean temperatures continue to shift, that could be changing. Join Anthony McGinnis Jr., a graduate student at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, for a talk on his thesis research comparing how ocean temperatures shape juvenile white shark habitat use across two nursery zones: the established Southern California site and an emerging one in Monterey Bay. Using acoustic telemetry, drone footage, and environmental data, his work explores how a warming ocean could shift where these young sharks call home, potentially bringing them closer to local dive sites. Anthony's background spans shark research from Southern California to Costa Rica, and he serves on the board of the Aquatic Futures Foundation, which helps divers pursue AAUS scientific diving certification. Stick around afterward for a Q&A and pizza!
