  "I have tremendous respect for fishermen and for Ben in particular," said O'Sullivan, who added that some fishermen have felt like the information they've freely given to researchers has sometimes been "used against them" in formulating regulation.

  Now working with a select group of fishermen, O'Sullivan said scientists with his White Shark Project and scientists from Stanford have been able to tag more than 100 great white sharks off the Central Coast of California.

  Now working with a select group of fishermen, O'Sullivan said scientists with his White Shark Project and scientists from Stanford have been able to tag more than 100 great white sharks off the Central Coast of California.They've learned a bit about the shark's range and seen intriguing behavior that begs more research.
  
  Last year, when a shark researcher wrote a paper on a largely desolate area of the ocean between California and Hawaii where great whites congregate, he dubbed it the Great White Cafe.

  John O'Sullivan doesn't wonder anymore.Now that his team has placed three young white sharks on exhibit since 2004, our curator of husbandry operations is convinced that success flows from the process and philosophy behind our white shark project.
  
  "There were so many hurdles to overcome,including the perception that no one could do it," John says."We could never have done it without a team approach and backing from Aquarium leadership."
  
  Visitors benefit, he says, in the same way that their eyes were opened in a new way when they saw our Kelp Forest exhibit for the first time.
  
  "You can't put 1.8 million people in a kelp forest in the wild,the environment can't handle it," John says."But they can come here and appreciate the beauty.The same thing is true for a white shark.It's one of the best ambassadors for the open ocean."
  
  Get the inside story about how John and his team succeeded during a live webcast on Friday, Nov. 16.

  That's impressive," said John O'Sullivan, a curator of field operations for the aquarium, who will depart this afternoon with a pair of fellow employees.
  
  The search for the floating tag, O'Sullivan said, is important because it gives researchers more information on the migration of young great whites.
  ...
  "One of the greatest questions we have is, 'How much time can the smaller white shark be exposed to cold waters?' " O'Sullivan said.
  
  And the data retrieved from the tag, he said, will give biologists an accurate read on water temperatures and reveal the depths at which this shark swam.
  
  Of course, there's always the remote chance that the shark was caught by fishermen and the tag popped off in the process, O'Sullivan said.
  
  "If it were," he said, "the information that we're receiving by satellite would show some boat heading straight into port.
  ...
  "I wish we could have the same sorts of exhibits with small perch and globe," O'Sullivan said.

  Sal Jorgensen, at Hopkins Marine Station, Pacific Grove, CA.-- Here's an updated plot of the juvenile white shark that John O'Sullivan and the team from the Monterey Bay Aquarium outfitted with a SPOT - satellite position only tag -- on July 17.
  ...
  It was released in excellent condition, O'Sullivan said, and is looking good off of Oceanside, California! (Mike Castleton at Hopkins Marine Station did the map.)
