Sharks of the Blue Hole
Blue holes, which are often submerged sinkholes, aren’t unusual in the Bahamas. However, there is one that may be particularly significant. Each year sharks gather here, sometimes numbering in the hundreds. In 2013 we joined with Blackbeard’s Cruises to explore this site and for the first time were able to identify them as blacknose sharks (Carcharhinus acronotus).
The guests and crew of Blackbeard’s liveaboard dive boats helped us collect more information through their observations. The data, photos and video they provided have been invaluable as we continue to work with shark biologists to pursue funding for further research.
Thank you to all those who have contributed!
