    NO, weve seen all of this in the videos you've shown us.   

6. Explain the details of three main types of sharks they encounter on their expeditions.  What is their status?  Describe their habitat and ecology. A Mango, hammerhead and lemon shark.

1. Drumline gear- weights, numbered floats, bait crate, pop timers

   Electronics- GPS, Ventilation Pump, drill, satellite tags

   Tagging gear- Shark Slide, orange roto tags, Biopsy Punches, scissors

2. catching the sharks, keeping them alive, weather

3. Tagging the Sharks and recording them for research

4. They contain the shark, put a tube in its body to keep water flow, tag it and let it go.

5. I am surprised by how they bolt the tag into the fin, and wonder if that would keep the shark from swimming properly

6.The hammerheads ability to reproduce is low so its population has declined by 50-90% in the past three decades
   The tiger shark is the third most common large, coastal species,  accounting for 12-20% of the catch, they can live in tropical and temperate seas, giving them a home everywhere.

   Bullsharks have a higher human contact percentage than any other shark due to their ability to swim up rivers into other bodies of freshwater. The bullshark has high hunting capabilities which make it a deadly predator

1. What types of tools are used for a shark tagging expedition? List 4 examples from each category.

Drumline Gear- some examples of this are yo-yo's with 70' Mainlines and leaders, Bait crate, Pop timers, and weights and numbered floats. 

Electronics- Some examples of this are Gps, Ysl, Istat, and underwater go pro's.

Tagging gear-Some examples of this are shark slide, Orange Roto Tags, Rototag applicator, and leather puncher.  

Extra tools- some extra tools that you might take on your trip are underwater baited cam set, pilers, measuring tape, and Bolt cutters.

2. What are the challenges mentioned in the video for a shark tagging expedition?

Some of the challenges mentioned in the movie well number one was that they dont catch a shrak everytime they go out. They have to cut the hook out of the sharks mouth. They cant let the students come over to the shark until it is safe. They have to pull the big sharks on the boat to. 

3. Explain the purpose of the expedition.

The purpose of the trip is to make other understand to help themselves understand to. They want to find out more stuff about our underwater world. They go out to tag the sharks and learn whats going on with them. 

4. What did the team do with the sharks they pulled on their boat?  Recall every action performed on the shark.

They first put a water pump in the sharks mouth so they shark will be ok. They then cut the hook out of the sharks mouth. They then took the sharks height, blood, put a tag on the shark and did a few other test. They then let the shark go back into the water. 

5. Look through the photographs.  Are there any photos that surprise you?  Why?

No the pictures were all pretty much from the movie. 

6. Explain the details of three main types of sharks they encounter on their expeditions.  What is their status?  Describe their habitat and ecology.

 Great Hammerhead- a specifically vulnerable to over exploitation due to its high sensitivity to stress and low reproductive rate. They live in the deep blue sea.

Bull Shark- they stay low to the ground they have stay close to the beach which means they will easily have contact with a human. they also live in the deep blue sea. 

Tiger Shark- they are not the ones normally involved in all of the attacks that we see and hear about. they are very large. stay far below the sea surface. they also live in the deep blue sea.

1. What types of tools are used for a shark tagging expedition? List 4 examples from each category.

A: Drumline: weights,floats, bait crate, leaders

Electronics: GPS, Satellite tags, ventilation pump, GoPro's

Tagging: Shark slide, leather puncher, shark labels, vials, ointment

Extras: measuring tape, bolt cutters, first aid kit, knives

2. What are the challenges mentioned in the video for a shark tagging expedition?

They have to try not to harm the shark further while removing the hook and they have to keep their hands away from all of the sharks teeth.

3. Explain the purpose of the expedition.

Sharks are globally in danger of becoming indangered species so the team tries to learn what the can to help protect the sharks.

4. What did the team do with the sharks they pulled on their boat?  Recall every action performed on the shark.

The secure the shark by holding it down, then they insert a water hose into the sharks mouth so that it can breath. they then cut the hook while taking a video of the shark. then they take a blood sample, then they take measurements, then they release the shark.

5. Look through the photographs.  Are there any photos that surprise you?  Why?

There were alot more female researchers than i expected to see and the picture of the diver so close to the large tiger shark was pretty cool because of how close the photographers were to that shark.

6. Explain the details of three main types of sharks they encounter on their expeditions.  What is their status?  Describe their habitat and ecology.

The team mainly catches bull sharks, tiger sharks, and hammerheads. Hammerhead sharks are extremely sensitive to stress and when caught they have a 90 percent chance of dying. these sharks prefer warmer waters but do not have any particular hunting area. they breed every other year and eat a wide variety of other sea life including other sharks, squid, octopus, and skates. The bull shark can go in both salt and fresh water making it very unique. It hunts dolphins, turtles, land animals, and birds. They are typically found in fresh-salt water mixes like estuaries. The tiger shark lives in temperate and tropical waters and eats a diet similar to that of the great hammerhead.
