Bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas) are apex predators that play a key role in maintaining marine ecosystem stability. By regulating prey populations, they help preserve biodiversity and support healthy reef and coastal systems. Despite their ecological importance, bull sharks face increasing pressure from overfishing, bycatch, and habitat degradation. Protecting sharks is a science-based approach to protecting ocean health. #SharkScience #MarineConservation #BullShark #ApexPredators #OceanEcosyst

Blacktip sharks (Carcharhinus limbatus) recorded using passive remote underwater cameras at Sharklife-monitored sites in the iSimangaliso Marine Protected Area. Across thousands of analysed images, it is uncommon to record this many individuals within a single frame. Records like these contribute to baseline data on species presence and site use, gathered without bait, handling, or diver interaction. | Sharklife
