Researchers identified the great white shark involved in a swimmer's bite incident in Del Mar, estimating it was about nine feet long and likely acted defensively.
The Shark Lab at Cal State Long Beach has tagged hundreds of juvenile white sharks, noting rare aggressive behavior among them.
The lab's DNA sequencing project aims to track shark familial relationships, enhancing understanding of shark populations along the California coast.
To maintain their monitoring system and research efforts, the Shark Lab is seeking $500,000 in funding from the County of San Diego by September.
