RDC Monthly MeetinG AND

SWAP MEET*

 

THE SALMON SHARK

Sabrina Garcia 


The salmon shark, a close relative of great white sharks, makos, and porbeagles, is found in the North Pacific Ocean from Japan to the Bering Sea and south to Baja California, Mexico. In Alaska, salmon sharks are common seasonal visitors that concentrate in areas where Pacific salmon are found. But although these sharks are large, charismatic animals, there is a lot we don't know about them. What do they eat when they aren't eating salmon? Where do they mate and give birth? Where do they go throughout the year and how do we study their migration? This presentation will shed some light on what we know and don't know about these amazing animals.



Sabrina Garcia grew up in Miami Beach, Florida where she fostered a love for the ocean and its inhabitants, especially sharks! During her undergraduate degree at the University of Miami (UM), she got hands-on experience working with these amazing animals at the Shark Research Program at UM and at the Bimini Shark Lab. She received her Masters studying skates (flat sharks) and through an unexpected twist of fate, she found herself moving to Alaska in 2012, where she currently lives, works, and plays. She is a marine biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game primarily studying the lives of salmon and salmon sharks in Alaskan waters.
