Human Encroachment

Something unfamiliar to lemon sharks is appearing all the more frequently - houses. This particular creek in North Eleuthera used to be a lemon shark pupping ground until houses began popping up. Even though this creek only has approx. 15% converted to human use, the pups left and never returned. Now more houses are being built.
