  • Heriberto Martir from the University of Puerto Rico's "Vida Marina" inspects his work. Wooden steaks from discarded pallets placed in a matrix change wind patterns to build up sand dunes along the north coast of Puerto Rico. "Vida Marina"  focuses on the management and ecological restoration and conservation of coastal ecosystems, endemic plants and marine turtle species. This project aims to restore sand dunes for coastal protection during storms, nesting sea turtles and other benefits. Image release available.

  • Lemon shark pups (Negaprion brevirostris) spend the first 5-8 years of their life in mangrove forests. The tangle of roots provides protection from predators like large sharks and is full of potential prey like juvenile fish and crabs. Lemon sharks are the first species of shark proven to practice natal philopatry where the mother will return to the same area she was born in to give birth. Mangroves are being lost at unsustainable rates thanks to coastal development. Image made on Eleuthera, Bahamas.

  • Luis D. Amayo from the University of Puerto Rico's Vida Marina program constructs an elevated walkway to help built up the sand dunes for coastal protection and nesting sea turtles along the north coast of Puerto Rico. As people walk over the same part of a sand dune it wears away the dune creating weaknesses for large waves to break through.

  • The mangroves provide protection from large predators, mostly other sharks, as the prop roots are a tangle too tight for larger sharks to swim through. Lemon sharks will return to the same exact creek they were born in to give birth, a process known as natal philopatry. 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.
