What’s different from other attempts to put white sharks on display?
We succeeded where others failed because most past attempts by aquariums involved capturing a white shark and putting it directly on display. We took a more cautious and methodical approach, developed in collaboration with shark experts and aquarium colleagues from around the world over a three-year period. Our demonstrated success involved working with a white shark in an ocean pen before gradually proceeding, step-by-step, toward putting it on display. If at any point in the process it appeared that the shark wasn’t doing well, we were ready to release it back to the wild.
