Blacktip Sharks in Southeast Florida with Dr. Stephen Kajiura, Florida Atlantic University
Blacktip sharks aggregate by the thousands in nearshore waters of southeast Florida every winter. For over a decade Dr. Kajiura’s team has employed aerial surveys with airplanes and drones, acoustic and satellite telemetry, underwater video monitoring, and animal-borne data loggers to examine the distribution and movements of sharks as they overwinter along our coast and migrate up the eastern seaboard. Discover how these sharks have shifted their distribution in response to warming oceans and learn about the possible future of these seasonally important predators and the food web they support.
