Young great white sharks moved from their nursery habitat during Tropical Storm Hilary. Researchers tracked twenty-two sharks using acoustic tags to observe their movements. Many sharks left the area and returned within weeks after conditions improved. The storm caused a significant drop in sea-surface temperature, affecting the sharks. This study offers new insights into marine species’ responses to extreme weather events. Young great white sharks moved from their nursery habitat during Tropical Storm Hilary.
