Watch MIT-WHOI grad student Jaida Elcock play tag with a whale shark! 🤙🏽🦈✨
To study the behavior of the largest fish in the ocean, Elcock attached a temporary "spot tag" that records the shark's location. After the tag popped off, she played "hide and seek" to retrieve the data!
Find out more about her research into whale shark migration patterns at Ocean Encounters, a live virtual discussion with Elcock and WHOI biologist Camrin Braun this Wednesday, Jan. 28 at 7:30pm (ET)!
