Living with Sharks in the Monterey Bay

Dr. David Ebert is an expert on shark biology with the Moss Landing Marine Laboratory and San Jose State University with the Pacific Shark Research Center. In the wake of the death of triathlete Erika Fox at Lover’s Point in Pacific Grove, sharks are once again in the news. But are they the human killers they’ve been made out to be in the media? What motivates them? Why are some encounters fatal and others survivable? Do those bracelets marketed as shark repellents actually work? How are sharks doing in our Monterey Bay? These are just a few of the questions we explore in this fascinating interview.
