\"Whitetip<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s UH<\/abbr> News<\/em> Image of the Week is from University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa’s Dani Bartz<\/strong>, a PhD<\/abbr> student in marine biology<\/a> and a graduate assistant for the Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Community Tagging Program (HCTP<\/abbr>), working with local fishers to safely tag these and other sharks with acoustic, satellite and ID<\/abbr> tags.<\/p>\n

Bartz shared “Oceanic whitetip shark off the Kona coast. The HCTP<\/abbr> has become a successful community-based research project with hundreds of tags deployed and photo ID<\/abbr> submissions by local fishers and tour boats.” Bartz’ friend Kayleigh Grant took this picture during that day’s dive.<\/p>\n
