Shark Tagging in Ocean City, MD

Data from shark tagging programs provide valuable information on migration. The need for international cooperation is underscored by the fact that many shark species have wide ranging distributions, frequently traverse national boundaries, and are exploited by multinational fisheries. Shark tagging is also an important means to increase our biological understanding of sharks and to obtain information for rational resource management. The tagging of sharks(and other aquatic animals) provides information on stock identity, movements and migration (including rates and routes), abundance, age and growth (including verification/validation of age determination methods), mortality, and behavior.
