Jaws and the White Shark: 50 Years of Impact and Discovery with Dr. Greg Skomal 

Jaws and the White Shark: 50 Years of Impact and Discovery with Dr. Greg Skomal 

Join us in welcoming renowned marine biologist Dr. Greg Skomal back to Martha’s Vineyard, where he once served as lead scientist for the Massachusetts Fisheries’ Island station. With nearly four decades of shark research under his belt, Dr. Skomal is a respected explorer, author, and authority on the white shark. In this special 50th anniversary program on Friday, July 11th, he’ll examine how Jaws shaped public perception of the species—and reveal how our understanding of white sharks has evolved over the past half-century.
