Great White Shark Birthing Site Discovered

The non-profit Ocearch has reportedly found the first known birthing site for great white sharks on the North Atlantic Coast. Ocearch said the birthing site, which was found in the waters off Montauk, Long Island, is the most significant discovery they’ve ever made. Chris Fischer, founder of Ocearch and the expedition’s leader, told CBS News, "It’s kind of like step two in the science. When we started this work back in 2012, the real question was where are these sharks in the North Atlantic giving birth? Because that’s where they’re most vulnerable.” Ocearch claims that finding of the Atlantic birthing site can lead to better protection policies for Great Whites and far more scientific knowledge.
