Couldn't take my own picture of the great white shark, because of the flash photography. JOURNALING: Her name is “Hope”, or at least that's what I named her. “Hope” is a 4-foot long great white shark that is currently on display at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. On August 20th, 2004, this beautiful creature was accidentally caught (bycatch) by a commercial halibut gillnet off the coast of Southern California. The fisherman that caught her notified Monterey Bay Aquarium who in turn brought her to a four million gallon ocean pen off the coast of Malibu. She was held in the pen for 25 days and was feeding, which itself is incredible, because great white sharks often do not eat while in captivity and have to be released back into the ocean, or else they will die. After “Hope's” 25 days in the ocean pen, the Monterey Bay Aquarium decided to move her to the million gallon outer bay exhibit at the aquarium. She made the eight-hour trip from Malibu to Monterey in a three thousand gallon mobile life support system that was pulled by a commercial truck. During “Hope's” first night at the aquarium, she learned to navigate the million gallon outer bay exhibit very quickly. On day two, she ate four wild caught salmon, the first time in history that any white shark has fed on exhibit. The aquarium's biologists and staff veterinarian are monitoring her condition continuously. Any decisions on how long she remains on exhibit and whether she needs to be returned to the wild will be based on the aquarium's assessment of her overall health and attitude.
