In the Field: Monitoring Sharks and Manta Rays on a Remote Island (PART 2 - Sharks)

In part 2 of our 'In the Field' episode with the Save Our Seas Foundation D'Arros Research Centre, we are heading to the neighbouring atoll of St Joseph to tag juvenile sharks and take part in their long term mark-recapture study.
