Shark Depredation Study on NE Atlantic Coast

Researchers from UMass Amherst are asking saltwater anglers from Maine to North Carolina to complete this online survey so that they can better understand shark depredation and how it is impacting anglers in our region. Shark depredation is the partial or complete removal of a hooked fish by a shark directly from an angler’s line before the line can be retrieved. The survey is being conducted by the Danylchuk lab at UMass Amherst and will be available to anglers from July 2024, through the end of October 2024.
