The Monterey Bay Aquarium is a leading institute in great white research. Occasionally they will keep babies in captivity, but they did not currently have any. Great whites are at risk for being overhunted, and studying them can provide the knowledge to prevent groups from accidentally killing them while fishing other animals. The mural I'm standing in front of in the picture is actually comprised of tiny images of shark teeth. Each of the thousands of teeth represent sharks killed each day. The preservation of sharks has always meant a lot to me. There are many reasons why sharks are awesome and ferocious and whatnot, but I see them as pretty vulnerable when compared to humans. Thank you MB Aquarium for looking out!
