Which of these quotes from the NOAA web page "Great White Shark Track" is an interpretation? "Before satellite tagging technology became feasible, it was thought that great white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) spent most of their time close to the coasts feeding on seals and sea lions." "In 2001, a shark tagged off of the coast of California was tracked all the way to Hawaii, 3,800 km (2,280 miles) away." "Most of the sharks stayed near Africa, but one of these sharks, named Nicole, really surprised researchers when she traveled all the way to Australia." "The shark's tag detached when the shark was just south of Exmouth Gulf in Western Australia."
