Expedition Shark Has Ended, But Mysteries Remain

Australia’s northeastern coast is a hotbed of shark activity, particularly for tiger sharks that come to feed during sea turtle hatching season. But there is trouble Down Under. The sharks are disappearing.

During a recent expedition to Osprey Reef, a group of scientists set out to find out why and we sent a writer, Wendee Holtcamp, and a photographer, Cat Gennaro, along to chronicle their story for this blog. Follow the posts below to read what happened during 10 days of this expedition, from April 5-15, 2008. The rest of the expedition was chronicled during the 2008 Shark Week show, Mysteries of the Shark Coast.

Have you seen this movie? It's based on the 1916 Great White shark attacks in NJ but it takes place in NY in the film. It's called Shore Thing.
