In honor of the 50th anniversary of JAWS, OCEARCH is unveiling new research that’s revealing the true role of white sharks in ocean health. Our groundbreaking study in the very waters where JAWS was set—from Cape Cod to Nova Scotia and the Gulf—shows how these apex predators are essential to maintaining the balance of our oceans. ⠀ “While JAWS sparked fascination with great whites, OCEARCH is now unlocking the real story of these majestic apex predators,” says Chris Fischer, Founder of OCEARCH.

At OCEARCH, we use sophisticated satellite and acoustic tracking technology to monitor sharks in near real-time. Every ping provides valuable insight into where these animals travel, when they migrate, and how they interact with their environment. This data is essential to understanding their role in the ocean’s ecosystem and helps guide important conservation efforts. By combining science, technology, and collaboration, we are working to protect sharks and ensure the health of our oceans for ge

Hey OCEARCH Crew! 🌊 Ever wondered how our Global Shark Tracker works — or why sometimes it looks like a shark swims across land? Each shark carries a SPOT tag that connects to the Argos satellite system, but they only ping when they come to the surface. That means there can be gaps in time and space between pings. If those pings are near a peninsula or coastline, the Tracker draws a straight line between them — even if it cuts across land. We don’t “guess” the route — we show you the real data.

White sharks are the ultimate temperature travelers! 🦈🌊 These apex predators have an incredible adaptation called regional endothermy, allowing them to regulate their body temperature and thrive in both warm and cold waters. Unlike most fish, white sharks can keep their core muscles warm, even when swimming through frigid depths. ❄️🔥 This unique ability makes them one of the most adaptable marine predators, capable of hunting in a variety of ocean environments from the icy waters of the North
