The tagging of white sharks was a component of a research project designed to improve knowledge on movement of white sharks in South-Western Australian waters. An amount of $2 million was provided in 2012 to extend both the time and the scope of the research project. As planned, the data collection phase of the project has ended and a series of research reports are now being generated.
There are no ongoing Departmental savings associated with cessation of the research project.
