Chester Moore, a wildlife journalist and conservationist, announced the launch of a new blog and website dedicated to great white sharks in the Gulf of Mexico.
The blog, “ Gulf Great White Sharks, ” aims to provide a comprehensive platform for the latest news, reports, and research on great white sharks in the Gulf region.
For more than a decade, Moore has been investigating and publishing articles and podcasts on great white sharks in the Gulf. Inspired by the groundbreaking work of organizations like the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy and Ocearch, Moore created the blog after witnessing the movements of a particular great white shark named “LeeBeth.”

“LeeBeth’s movements, as tracked by the AWSC tag put on her by Capt. Chip Michalove in South Carolina, fascinated me,” he said. “Seeing her presence near South Padre Island and then a few days later near Sabine Pass on the Texas-Louisiana border was truly remarkable. It highlighted the importance of understanding and conserving great white sharks in the Gulf of Mexico.”
Moore said the Sabine appearance in particular is interesting.
“A report from a very knowledgeable guide over a decade ago who was fishing 58 miles from the Sabine Jetties is what got me into researching white sharks in the Gulf. Incidentally, LeeBeth pinged very close to where he was fishing,” he said.
The Gulf Great White Sharks blog is dedicated to the conservation of great white sharks and other apex predators in the Gulf of Mexico.
Visitors to the website, gulfgreatwhites.com , can expect to find a wealth of information on the behavior, ecology, and conservation efforts related to primarily to great whites but it will also deal with other sharks in Gulf waters.
With the launch of Gulf Great White Sharks, Moore aims to raise awareness about the importance of preserving the marine ecosystem of the Gulf of Mexico and ensuring the continued survival of great white sharks and other apex predators.
Moore is the Editor-In-Chief of Texas Fish & Game and founder of Higher Calling Wildlife®. He dedicated his career to raising awareness about the importance of wildlife and marine conservation.
