Are you watching Discovery Channel's hugely popular Shark Week?  

Did you know that Canada's Pacific waters are home to large numbers of large sharks?  A few years ago, we published a paper reporting a massive aggregation of salmon and blue sharks.  We used Aeroplan Miles to fly our observers and equipment to Sandspit (Haida Gwaii/Queen Charlotte), and that kept our field costs low.  Warning: the paper is a bit on the technical side, but the bottom line is that there is still a lot to explore in Canadian waters.  

We'd love to go back there soon to tag some sharks to find out if we discovered a nursing or feeding ground for these top predators.  One problem.  

We're gonna need a bigger boat.  {You saw that Jaws reference coming, didn't you?}
