Historically, the range of juvenile white sharks didn't reach Northern California. But over the last 10 years, they have been spotted in droves in certain pockets of Monterey Bay.
Dylan Moran, a lab technician, explained that juvenile sharks are seeking micro habitats with warmer water in Monterey Bay, which is critical for their survival.
Salvador Jorgensen noted that since 2014, many shark species, including white sharks, have been moving away from the equator in search of cooler waters.
Jorgensen also emphasized that with the influx of new predators, the ecosystem is likely to undergo significant changes, potentially affecting local species and their dynamics.
