Chasing Shadows – Unraveling the Mysteries of the Great White Shark

Illustrated talk, presented July 14, 2024 by award winning science writer and author Ret Talbot

Hosted by HLFM director Pierce Rafferty

Chasing Shadows – Unraveling the Mysteries of the Great White Shark., co-written with shark biologist Greg Skomal, frames the return of the white shark to coastal New England waters as a conservation success story. In this talk, Talbot reads from his book and addresses the complex relationship between humans and sharks dating back thousands of years, today’s challenging public safety issues, and what may be on the horizon.

Ret was joined by scientific illustrator Karen Talbot, who created the illustrations and maps in the book.
