Our research on tiger sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier) to date has been in Australian tropical waters, but recently, we began investigating tiger sharks a little further afield. Together with South
African colleagues Ryan Daly, Clare Daly and Malcolm Smale I have been tagging tiger sharks off Ponta Do Oura in southern Mozambique. Ryan has been running a bull
shark project (called Zambezi shark in Africa) here for the last few years. This
field trip in January 2014 was the start of the tiger shark project which we are conducting in
collaboration with Mahmood Shivji from the Guy Harvey Institute.
