As Shark Week 2022 nears its conclusion in the US from July 24 to July 30, her work with the sea species is especially timely. Ginger demonstrates that sharks are gorgeous creatures rather than the terrifying villains they are portrayed as in movies.
Based in Chatham, Massachusetts, the reporter shares two Instagram posts about her shark antics. In the first video, Ginger exclaims “wow” and “that’s a shark, that's huge”, whilst a white shark swims past her boat.

Shark tagging includes attaching a tag to the sea creature and using it to monitor it in its natural environment. This gives scientists vital knowledge about the life histories, population levels, movement, and migratory patterns of sharks.
In the second video Ginger said: “There is a plane overhead that keeps spotting the sharks for us. So, it tells us where to go and so far we’ve got over a half dozen that we’ve spotted. Nothing tagged yet.”
