But Stewart Island is the go-to spot because it's an aggregation site.

And from December through to April –

is when I'm focusing trips down there to deploy these tags.

But like I say, if you've got a Great White hotspot in your backyard, let us know.

So just

Yeah.

I mean, the beauty of this project is that...

you know, adds data that we haven't had for over a decade.

So Neil and Doc did some really cool proprietary studies down there from 2005 to 2015.

They tagged, like, 83 great whites.

And we learned that we were one of five places in the world that they aggregate.

And it's only at one island there, this Motunui Island in the Favo Strait.

So it's incredibly novel.

But then nothing happened.

Doc lost funding.

You know, we put priorities into fisheries and whatnot.

And no one had really studied them.

And great white populations all around the world are disappearing.

And we're seeing adverse ecological effect from that.

And so, you know, for me, I was like, we need to study this last real stronghold down here.
