Sharks
Whale shark tourism
Geography PhD candidate Jackie Ziegler studies the intersection between tourism and biodiversity conservation. She hopes her graduate research in Mexico and the Philippines will help inform government policy makers, local villages and visitors on the ethics of feeding sharks for tourism purposes.
US grad student part of sharks study
The Ring
PhD biology candidate Amy Teffer from New England is one of more than six dozen authors, including UVic fisheries ecologist Francis Juanes, of a new study on the foraging habits of the world’s shark populations. She calls UVic “the obvious choice” for her doctorate.
Shark study on feeding patterns
Media release
For sharks, it’s more where they eat than what they eat. Thanks to a new study co-authored by UVic biologists Francis Juanes and Amy Teffer, it’s clear coastal sharks have very different feeding patterns than deeper ocean sharks and it could help overturn declines in the world’s shark populations.
How to tag a tiger shark
The Ring
This summer UVic geographer Phil Dearden assisted an international research team with the placement of the first-ever satellite tracking tag on a tiger shark in the Philippines' Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park—a UNESCO world heritage site—and is now tracking its movements in real time. Sharks play a crucial role in marine biodiversity and the new research will have significant impact on shark conservation in Southeast Asia and the Philippines.

The Ring
A new study led by researchers at the University of Victoria raises serious concerns about the ability of marine protected areas (MPAs) to effectively protect wide-ranging iconic species, such as sharks and rays.
