Matt Hamm

CSI100 Final Project

What are the 5 & why?

5. Shortfin Mako- Fastest and great jumpers

4. Oceanic White Tip- best sense of smell & most abundant

3. Tiger shark- eat anything that in water, live alone

2. Great White- one of the biggest, most aggressive

1. Bull Shark- salt water or fresh, most aggressive, live close to shore

Why Sharks?

• Choose sharks because I’ve been fascinated with them since I was young. Have read a lot of books about them, watch a lot of documentaries on them.

• Someday hope to do something with sharks, such as dive & film, or even studying behavioral habits or migration patterns.

Process

• Surfed sites for knowledgeable info

• Gathered photos of real sharks

• Went through a few books and looked at the 5 species and characteristics of each

• Much more time consuming that I thought

Problems

• Java applet near impossible to find one that worked

• Excel info extremely hard to get data on each species of shark

• Organizing my website in the beginning

My site’s contents

• Info on the top 5 deadliest sharks

• Photographs of the shark & map of area where most prominent

• Video of a diver being attacked by a Great White

• Links to good shark websites

• Excel workbook of Attacks worldwide from 2001-2006

• The proposal for my project
