The fearsome great white shark provides endless fascination and, for researchers, offers a glimpse into ancient marine history. Learn about its evolution during “Fishing for the Origins of the Great White Shark” at the Ocean County Library’s Long Beach Island branch in Surf City on Wednesday, July 9 at 7 p.m.

Dana Ehret, curator of natural history for the New Jersey State Museum, will discuss his research of the origins and adaptations that produced the Great White as it is know today.
