BARNEGAT LIGHT, N.J. — Former Congressman George Santos has begun a new chapter of his ever-unpredictable career — this time as a marine biologist.
Santos, 37, who was expelled from Congress in 2023 following multiple ethics violations and criminal fraud charges (many still pending), announced this week that he has joined a shark-tagging research team operating off the coast of New Jersey. The project, operated under the Atlantic Apex Predators Initiative (AAPI), focuses on tracking migratory patterns and breeding behaviors of great white sharks in the region.
