Episode 3
Did you know there is at least 14 different species of sharks in the Salish Sea? In 2022, two graduate students at Oregon State University, Jessica Schulte and Ethan Personius, documented the presence of two shark species never before reported in South Puget Sound. Sharks play very important ecological roles as predators but are largely misunderstood or not well known at all. Come join us on this episode as Jessica and Ethan tells us about these two species, broadnose sevengill and soupfin, the implications their discovery may have, and what on-going research they are involved in with these species. We promise - this is definitely an episode you can sink your teeth into!
