Rebecca Zertuche
- Additional Crew
Oceanologist and Master of Science in Oceanography, Rebeca began working on the study of the white shark population, behavior, and interaction with tourist activities in Guadalupe Island in 2012. In early 2015 she began coordinating the biological observer program on board of tourist boats in order to collect information about Guadalupe Island sharks, behavior, and photo-identification individuals, a program developed by CONANP and ECOCIMATI, a non-profit organization dedicated to environmental conservation.
At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, tourist activities on the island were suspended and the shark research team at ECOCIMATI has taken the opportunity to search for new white shark locations along the Baja California Peninsula.
