Five kilometres out from Coromandel’s Hot Water Beach, Elliott spoons turbid fishoil into the sea. He’s been here for hours, setting a long slick of chum like a shimmering wake behind the rolling boat. He’s interested to know where they go, how they interact with fisheries, how they
behave when at sea and what proportion of the New Zealand blue shark population moves in and out of our exclusive economic zone each year. To do that, he’s going to
track them from space. A slow-moving fin appears, zigzagging towards a bait lashed to the stern.
