Pernambuco is resuming shark monitoring with microchips after an 11-year hiatus, following recent attacks. Researchers will track 60 sharks with microchips and receivers, costing R$1.052 million over two years. The project aims to understand shark behavior to inform public safety policies. This initiative, which includes tagging sharks with plastic markers, was delayed but is now set to begin expeditions in July.
