PACTV- Within The Bay

"Within the Bay; Shark Tagging in Duxbury” is a short form documentary, focusing on the partnership between local fisherman and marine biologists conducting a shark tagging study in Duxbury MA, which has recently become a nursery for federally protected Sand Tiger sharks.

Given the rise of shark sightings during the early 2000s around the Cape Cod and greater Bay Area of Massachusetts, public education has been essential in the safety of both the human and marine populations.

Special thanks to John Chisholm and David Lindamood for their participation in the film.
