SOUTH CAROLINA – The death of an Atlantic right whale in early March in Myrtle Beach was a blow to the species, said the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, but it was an opportunity to feed a wide variety of creatures, including great white sharks .
The department said its shark biologist Bryan Frazier used the group’s feeding opportunity to collect data about the sharks, marking two of them.

The tags will allow “experts to track the movements of these sharks and learn more about these animals that act as indicators of a healthy ocean,” the department said.
