Great White Shark ‘Ripple’ Ventures Deep Into Gulf of Mexico
Ripple's journey confirms long-term predictions and reveals a new Gulf of Mexico hotspot near Cape San Blas, aiding future white shark conservation efforts, researchers said.
- Tracking data shows Ripple, an 11.5-foot, nearly 800-pound tagged great white, ventured into the Gulf of Mexico this year early, confirming long-term predictions and pioneering routes alongside Ernst, researchers say.
- Using long-term datasets from previous several years, the research team says Ripple’s route confirms predictions and reflects matured predictive systems tracking white sharks.
- Using real-time satellite and acoustic records, the team combined real-time satellite tracking with regional acoustic collaborators to reconstruct Ripple’s route, revealing new white shark movement patterns.
- Findings could inform evidence-based conservation and management, and teams will continue monitoring the Cape San Blas area as winter approaches to track white shark movements.
- Ripple’s pioneering route this year underscores long-term collaboration, with researchers combining satellite and acoustic data from regional partners, said Fischer.

A 3.5-meter, nearly 363-kilogram white shark, called Ripple, is marking a new territory as it goes deep into the Gulf of Mexico. Its movements represent some of the first documented movements of labeled white sharks that travel so far in the Gulf waters, according to experts. Tracking data shows Ripple visiting Pulley Ridge off the Tampa coast and a point of increasing activity near Cabo San Blas. Researchers claim that his trip confirms long-te…
