Tagging Great Hammerheads!


Apologies.
Right now, I'm way too busy for lengthy posts.

In the meantime, check out these awesome pics.
It's the good people from Doc's Shark Lab tagging GHH on the fly, without hooking & hauling them to the boat which is particularly harmful to this specific species.
Kudos!

To think 10 years ago there were virtually no great hammerhead photos - and now wow!!!

We saw this big female again 2 days ago. Amazing data being collected without stressing these beautiful, but fragile sharks.

...To my mind the most spectacular of all sharks.

Same here - that spectacular, beautiful dorsal, and also the elegance and effortlessness of the way they swim!

- Not just the dorsal: all those fins are spikes sweeping through the marine otherworld like eschatologically numinous scythes.*
