Male blacktip sharks (the black dots in the picture above) in Southeast Florida can be found in aggregations as large as 800 shark per square kilometer during the winter.
If you are swimming in the coastal waters of Southeast Florida during peak blacktip migration season, then it is likely that there is a blacktip shark within a 20 meter radius of you.

Blacktip sharks (Carcharhinus limbatus) aggregate by the thousands in the warm nearshore waters of Southeast Florida each winter. However, these massive aggregations are comprised exclusively of males. Where are the females? We will travel to their summertime mating/birthing areas to instrument females with acoustic transmitters to delineate their migratory route and identify critical habitat. Knowing the distribution of the entire population is essential for effective management.
