For decades, great white sharks were largely overlooked in discussions of the Gulf of Mexico’s marine predators. But long before these sharks gained widespread attention in Gulf waters, wildlife journalist Chester Moore was investigating their presence.

It began with a satellite phone call from a charter captain friend who encountered a great white shark at an offshore oil rig. That encounter helped launch a journey of investigation that eventually led to a documentary, a book, and the founding of the Gulf Great White Shark Society.

In this introductory episode, Moore shares the story behind the society and introduces a podcast dedicated to exploring the science, history, migrations, and mysteries of great white sharks in the Gulf of Mexico and greater Atlantic.

From groundbreaking research to remarkable encounters, the Gulf Great White Shark Society is dedicated to raising awareness and celebrating one of the ocean’s most incredible predators.
