The original study was criticized by some people because it relied on the observations of divers towed behind boats at a maximum 30 meters’ depth.

My recollection is that they see more sharks in the NWHI but were still seeing some species in the MHI (in fact sandbar sharks were at least as abundant in the MHI). I think we can all agree that each method (fishing vs diving vs bruvs) misses particular species.

The old aquaculture fish cages off of Ewa for example aggregated large numbers of sandbars and blacktips. Its not that I disagree that there are less coastal sharks in the Main HawaiianYannisnoreply@blogger.com
