The Odd Ocean “Cafe” Where Great White Sharks Gather is a fascinating place. The term “White Shark Café” was coined by researchers at Stanford University’s Hopkins Marine Station back in 2002 when they were studying Great White sharks in the area. By monitoring sharks they had tagged they were able to locate and record where they traveled over a series of years. The tags also monitored how deep the sharks dived and how long they stayed below the surface. What they found was there was an area in the ocean, halfway between Baja California, Mexico, and Hawaii, where Great White sharks gathered!
