Wildlife Conservation Society shark research Ramón Bonfil releases a great white shark after attaching a motion-tracking satellite tag to the shark's dorsal fin.

"We don't want to kill a shark by mistake while studying it," Bonfil said. "Accidents can happen, so we're careful to work on nice flat water without risking more than we should."
