Dr. Greg Skomal will discuss his new book, Chasing Shadows: My Life Tracking the Great White Shark. The shark biologist who quite unexpectedly found himself in the middle of the newest white shark hotspot tells his story and the story of these magnificent creatures. Learn about this remarkable conservation success story, which is loaded with cutting-edge science, drama, and controversy. From the fascinating early days of shark research on the east coast to the consequences of the so-called Jaws effect and the heart-stopping moment when he found himself beneath a 17-foot white shark off Cape Cod, Skomal sets the record straight about this iconic species. Skomal -- in addition to being an accomplished marine biologist, underwater explorer, photographer, and author -- is a leading white shark expert in the Atlantic. He is a senior fisheries biologist with the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries and currently directs the Massachusetts Shark Research Program. Skomal is a regular on Shark Week and Shark Fest and is the author of The Shark Handbook.
