22 Young Great White Sharks Fled San Diego Waters During Storm Hilary, Then Returned
Twenty-two juvenile great white sharks temporarily abandoned their nursery habitat near San Diego during Tropical Storm Hilary. Researchers monitored the sharks using acoustic tags to track their movements in real time. The storm caused a notable drop in sea-surface temperatures, which likely triggered the sharks' departure. Most sharks returned to the nursery area within weeks once conditions stabilized. The findings provide valuable new understanding of how marine species respond to extreme weather events.
