- Mick Menigoz has been observing wildlife at the Farallones for the last few decades, including interacting with the local researchers. He breaks down the reality of the cost / benefit arguments of SPOT tagging white sharks.

More sense in this video than in 100 Shark Week afternoons. Well said and well meant. Leave em alone! We have plenty of flying fish videos to satisfy even the most ardent White Shark devotees. Myself included.
Bless you for speaking out in the Best Interest of the animals, especially one that is so misunderstood.
Very brave to speak out . Shark shouldnt be stressed and out of water .tags should be lower on dorsal fin and no hooks. Theres already a white shark called slash.global tagging rules needed
! Spot on.
I totally agree. Sharks weigh much more that a horse and they can't lay down too long because of that same thing. Also drilling into the fin is terrible.
A horse has no problem lying down for 20 minutes (much longer than that, actually). The Ocearch team never keeps a shark out of the water beyond 20 minutes.
Leah thats kinda foolish to say. a horse is meant to be on land and lay down in stalls, etc... a shark is meant to be bouyant in water, feed, mate, and give birth....in water! no comparison to a horse
@@leahp.7959 20 min my ass. Also what about possible embryos?
@@angyyyee2671 Horse can't lay down for too long. Its hard on there organs. Legs as well. Dr Pol , had some client cows that lay down for too long. There legs are numb. It can be life threatening. What your thinking of is (Rem sleep). which horses do need to sleep for that. Which is max of 3 hours. the rest of sleep, is while standing.
EXCELLENT POINTS, and well said.
thats funny how he says 'what do i know im just a fisherman'. funny cause that is all Chris Fischer is si what makes him more qualified than this man? i never would have thought about that, the weight of the shark bearing down on its babies in the womb. It would be better to focus on getting all nations on board with shark conservation and an end to finning.
Did Dr. Skomal change his view? I noticed AWSC kinda split away from Ocearch the past couple years.
Aren’t these federal Waters? How can they use J hooks?
They could easily bait them close enough to use a pole tag and eliminate the entire stressful situation.
This man me laugh but he’s completely right with everything he’s saying about them cowboys they are part of sea world at then of day and Chris fisher needs to stop with sharks I see them tag sharks at lot different to they do leave the poor animals alone no wonder we loosing our wild life
It is odd the sharks have survived and pinged for years after the alleged stress the sharks go through. How do you explain the sharks survival. Also, Ocearch has done more to change the opinion of sharks than any other conservation group. My class follows the Ocearch sharks and have nothing but positive feelings about Great White Sharks. We recently did a debate about shark conservation in class and not a single student was for culling sharks. If not for Ocearch, we would not have been the consensus. My generation knows about Great Whites through Ocearch. We have a different opinion on the generation who learned about Great Whites through Jaws.
You are the ultimate example of repeating what other people have said without backing it up. You can't show any pings of OCEARCH's Farallon sharks, Guadalupe sharks, or South Africa sharks. Furthermore they have been caught falsifying ping data in some cases and showing exceptionally innacurate ping data in other cases (try the shark that was 1,000 miles inland one day then far out at sea the next).
OCEARCH hasn't done shit for sharks except fool people into thinking they have done things for sharks. They stand on the shoulders of actual researchers then turn to the camera and say "We get the credit, send us money."
Done more for shark opinion? Seriously? They show people that it's cool to fish for sharks, that's it. As far as your idiotic classroom example, all kids like sharks. I suppose if I caught a tiger and tagged it I could say I was responsible for kids thinking tigers were cool. You're a dolt. Stay away from kids.
@@Whitesharkvideo Falsifying ping data? Too funny. Evidence shoots down your weak "sharks are harmed data" and your response is to say their data is fake. How pathetic. When Ocearch 1st started tagging sharks they showed the sharks were coming in very close the the South Carolina coast; even entering inlets. Although GW's were known to travel well off the coast of South Carolina, nobody expected them to come this close to shore. Ocearch even doubted their own findings, saying the GPS coordinates were not exact and may be an estimation. Their close to shore findings have been backed up by a skipper on the Outcast fishing boat who catches and tags GW's for research. The Outcast has caught and tagged numerous GW sharks on the same day fishing only a mile or two off the coast. If Ocearch is falsifying their data, how did they know the sharks were swimming so close to the Carolina coast? Just lucky I guess.
@@peterbrenner3860 Show people it is cool to fish for sharks? Spare me your t BS. I live in Chatham on Cape Cod. We are ground zero for the shark debate. There are people here who want to cull the GW population here. My classmates and I attend every meeting and town hall where they discuss the shark population. We hand out pampllets against the shark cull and collect signatures opposing a shark cull. I volunteer with the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy. All of us are interested are on some level because of the research Ocearch does. What do you do to help GW's? Your lame tiger comparison is too moronic for a response.
I've always liked sharks also I always thought ocearch was a bunch of douche bags.
