Shark Encounters of the NOAA Kind

From the white sharks that silently patrol the Gulf of the Farallones to the graceful hammerheads that congregate at the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary, sharks are some of the National Marine Sanctuaries' most beautiful - and important - underwater residents. Here are some curious sharks who have investigated our underwater activities around the country.
