At
#CCU, marine science students are gaining hands-on experience identifying and tagging sharks through field research in Winyah Bay.
After carefully bringing a shark alongside the boat, students identify the species, often sandbar sharks, by features like dorsal fin placement and the presence of a small ridge. Sharks are then tagged using M-tags or acoustic tags to support long-term tracking and migration studies.
