Dr. Greg Skomal's Great White Shark Research Update

Discover what’s really been happening beneath our waters in 2026 when international shark expert Dr. Greg Skomal headlines the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History’s new Ocean Season with his Great White Shark Research Update on Thursday, September 17.  Doors open for wine and hors d’oeuvres at 6 pm. Lecture at 6:30pm.
 
Dr Skomal has been studying the life, history, ecology and physiology of sharks for more than 40 years. His research has spanned the globe from the frigid waters of the Arctic Circle to coral reefs in the tropical Central Pacific. Much of his current work centers on the use of acoustic telemetry and satellite-based tagging technology to study the ecology and behavior of sharks. He leads the Shark Research Program for the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries.

All proceeds from the event go towards the Museum’s education programs. Tickets are available at ccmnh.org priced at $60 and include wine & hors d’oeuvres.
 
Dr Greg Skomal’s Great White Shark Research Update is part of the Museum’s Ocean Season, a curated program of events themed around aquatic science. Upcoming presentations include a talk and book-signing by best-selling author Eric Jay Dolin, a panel discussion on Seals & Society with the New Bedford Whaling Museum, and an art gallery display featuring the work of Woodwell Climate Research Center cartographer Greg Fiske.
