  • In 2011 The Bahamas was declared a shark sanctuary, banning the killing of sharks. The ban would not have happened if sharks didn't attract tourist revenue. This Caribbean reef shark (Carcharhinus perezi) was killed despite the ban in 2013. The law and the perception of sharks has a gap that is slowly being filled as more local Bahamians reap the rewards of shark tourism.
    Fear Killed The Shark
  • A Caribbean reef shark (Carcharhinus perezii) with a wire leader hanging from her mouth off New Providence, Bahamas. Sharks are often observed with hooks, scars or other evidence of encounters with fisherman. It has been illegal to catch sharks in The Bahamas since 2011.

  • An invasive lionfish (Pterois volitans) is fed to a Caribbean reef shark (Carcharhinus perezi) off Grand Bahama Island, Bahamas. It was once thought sharks could be trained to feed on lionfish by feeding them speared lionfish which, so far, this has proved to be false.

  • Despite the Bahamas being declared a shark sanctuary in 2011, their reputation among the local population is less than popular. Many fisherman will kill sharks simply for the sake of killing a shark. Here a Caribbean Reef Shark (Carcharhinus perezi) was killed, decapitated and simply dumped off a fish cleaning dock. No fish, jaws, teeth or anything else were removed.

    Caribbean Reef Sharks
  • A lionfish is fed to a shark. It was once thought that you could teach predators like this Caribbean reef shark to eat lionfish, but there is no evidence any efforts have been working. Sharks tend to hunt weak or dying animals and actually help fish populations beneath them thrive.
