Guardians of the reef!
This Caribbean reef shark (Carcharhinus perezi) had the spotlight stolen by a trigger fish in classic trigger fish style! Both of these species are familiar faces across coral reef habitats here in Bimini. As top reef predators, Caribbean reef sharks play an important role in regulating marine ecosystems by predating on fish and maintaining the balance of the reef.
How many Caribbean reef sharks can you spot in this video?

Boots, bands and big shark energy!
Our crew had such an amazing and successful time at Tortuga Country Music and Conservation Festival this year!
We were set up in the conservation village for 3 days where we chatted to over 300 people about sharks, the work we do at the lab, our work in the Florida Keys, and gave out more stamps than ever! Noodle, our Nurse shark also had such a fun time dancing to the pop-up bands! Thank you to everyone who visited our booth! It was great to meet so many shark enthusiasts and we look forward to returning next year!

Fairfield University 2026!
We had such a fun week here at the station hosting students from Fairfield University! They’ve been an incredibly fun group and we had a packed week filled with shark ecology lectures, tidepooling, snorkelling reefs, wrecks and encounters with large lemon sharks and stingrays!
Thank you Fairfield, we hope to welcome your university back again in the future!
