  • A lemon shark pup is caught in a mangrove creek in south Eleuthera, Bahamas. At less than 2 feet he is a very young shark. He will be transported to a lab and then to an open-ocean pen for observation before being released as a tagged, wild shark. The shark will become a representative of the species. Lemon sharks depend on mangroves for the survival of the first 5-8 years of their lives. Mangroves are disappearing throughout the world and the fate of the lemon shark is left in the balance. We need to get proper protections for the world's mangroves and then enforce them.
