The Boys are Back in Town: Seasonal Aggregations of Blacktip Sharks in Southeast Florida Every winter, thousands of blacktip sharks migrate to coastal waters in south Florida.

See how scientists are tracking the movements of these important predators, and how climate change may affect their migratory patterns.
