However, this transitioned into numerous close passes with other great white shark pups, meaning that the nursery ground must be very close by, if not on that very spot. For an area to be considered a great white shark nursery ground, juvenile sharks must be seen there often, remain there for an extended period of time, and repeatedly use the area over several years. O'Connell said that for the area to be confirmed as a great white nursery, they will need more funding and research. More specifically, he said that these sharks would need to be tagged to prove that they are using the spot long-term.:"The reason these nurseries are so difficult to find is not because of it being rare but the lack [of] geographical clues ... it is a big ocean out there. To find them we needed to go back to the bottom of the food chain and work our way back to the top. "I don't think we would of been able to achieve this without my knowledge of the habitat and the amazing support of [some local] commercial fisherman." The nursery discovery plays a vital role in understanding the great white shark population in Western Australia, Payne said."[This] sets a baseline that can be used to monitor population, movements, cycles and changes over time. Because the location is so remote it also sets the perfect scientific comparison with other more exploited areas."
