University of Delaware assistant professor Aaron Carlisle is part of a new study that uncovered a previously unknown white shark hot spot in the central Gulf of California. The study suggests that these low numbers for eastern north Pacific white sharks, especially those listed in the Gulf of California, might be underestimated.

New study examines the presence of Great White sharks in a previously unreported location
Perhaps no other ocean creature lives in the human imagination like the great white shark. But while great white sharks might be plentiful in the minds of beachgoers across the country, there are only a handful of places in the world where white sharks can be consistently found. In those areas â such as Central California, Guadalupe Island Mexico, South Australia and South Africa â they tend to be found aggregated in small hotspots, often located around seal colonies.
