After a frustrating August where fieldwork was cancelled by the brilliant UK weather it was great to get back out and tag 4 more immature female tope in @ACA_PLAS_SAC! Thanks to our skipper Tony and 3 local fishers for their help!

After a slow start to the day, we successfully tagged 4 female tope sharks.
Looking forward to seeing what these amazing animals get up to over the next year.
Back in a couple of weeks to hopefully tag some more!
