Great white shark population along California coast booming By Julia Musto Stanford University, the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Oregon State University s Hatfield Marine Science Center found that between 2011 and 2018 great white shark numbers in the area had notably risen. Over a period of more than 2,500 hours of observation at three sites – Southeast Farallon Island, Año Nuevo Island and Tomales Point – Comparatively, a 2011 three-year study found just 219 sharks, suggesting the shift. Although the group found both male and female sharks, the estimate of the adult female population showed just around 60 in the region. Underwater video recordings and photographs helped to collect the data and a seal decoy was used to lure the apex predators.
