Super Shark Highway

Embark on a dangerous tagging mission in South Australia to show what sharks eat and why they gather in feeding hot spots. Then, head north as a team chases tiger, bull and hammerhead sharks, outfitting one with a 360-degree dorsal camera.

Track a pregnant shark along the Great Barrier Reef and see if she leads a team of scientists to her hidden pupping ground. Then, search for signs of mating along the southern coast that could reveal a very shy, female megashark in search of a partner.

Stay up late as the northern team attaches an activity tag to a bull shark to find out what this night owl does after sunset. Then, dive 80 metres deep with the southern team, who are hoping to put a satellite tracker on a female great white.

Ponder shark community hierarchies as the northern team studies how young blacktips learn social and survival skills. Then rush to Rainbow Beach with the southern team, who are eager to witness the sand tiger shark’s most elusive behavior: mating.

Travel to the ends of Australia’s shark highways. Find out if Greenly Island in the south is like a truck stop for migrating great whites. Then, search for proof of a genetic connection between northern bull sharks and their cooler-climate cousins.

Follow the southern team as they test new migration tech and tools that could reduce shark attacks in a popular snorkeling spot. Then catch and tag bull sharks with the northern team, who want to help local swimmers steer clear of birthing mothers.
