Item Description
Lunch or Dinner with Mark Marks — Shark Biologist — in Newport, Oregon
Mark Marks is a seasoned research biologist who is best known for his pioneering doctoral studies of the behavioral ecology and sociobiology of the white shark off South Africa.
The scientists’ focus on applying experimental biology techniques in the field outside the confines of a shark cage have provided him a unique perspective on the little known world of white shark behavior and feeding ecology.
Mark’s extensive scientific background with elasmobranches spans more than 25 years, taking him to remote locations off four continents, ten countries and including research with dozens of shark species.
For this extreme biologist the possibility of uncovering and elucidating new, yet described, shark behavior is the driving force behind exploration and expedition adventures with a distinct academic twist.
Mark has most recently returned from his fourth research trip to Guadalupe Island, off Baja Mexico, where he participated with National Geographic in filming white shark predation of Northern Elephant Seals.
