What is the significance of tracking sand tiger sharks in Boston Harbor?

Scientists from the New England Aquarium are tracking sand tiger sharks in Boston Harbor to study their migration patterns and aid in conservation efforts. A recent tagging expedition revealed that one shark traveled hundreds of miles south and returned to the same marsh, highlighting the vastness and interconnectedness of ocean ecosystems. The team surgically implants tags that transmit location data for up to 10 years.
