| Summary: | A marine biologist, paleo-biologist, and underwater-cameraman, Richard Fitzpatrick has spent over 8,000 hours underwater. He caught his first shark when he was only twelve years old, and his fascination with sharks has only thrived ever since.. In SHARK TRACKER, we dive in with Richard and his team as they catch two White Tip Reef sharks who need new batteries for their tracking tags. After their transmitters are inserted, these sharks will be monitored by satellite tracking. This will allow Richard to study their social behaviour, movements, and predating. Richard’s goal is to capture a ‘tiger’ and attach a CSIRO satellite tag to its dorsal fin, sending a signal to orbiting satellites, so researchers can track the shark’s location..
