Jersey Proud: Monmouth University students study sharks along the Jersey Shore

Students from Monmouth University are gaining hands-on field experience by studying shark populations along the Jersey Shore. Working in collaboration with the New Jersey Fish and Wildlife Division, the students are catching, tagging, and releasing sandbar and sand tiger sharks near the Cape May Lighthouse. This research project aims to track shark movement and migration patterns, while officials remind the public that proper permits are required for any shark-related fishing activities.
