Endangered Caribbean reef sharks and other shark species are making a striking recovery in Belize after plummeting due to overfishing between 2009 and 2019, according to recent observations.
Experts say the establishment of no-shark-fishing zones around Belize’s three atolls in 2021 is what enabled the population boom.

Caribbean reef sharks rebound in Belize with shark fishers’ help
Rosie knows the Lighthouse Reef Atoll like the back of her fin. She calls this atoll home and is a matriarch of the thriving population of Caribbean reef sharks (Carcharhinus perezi) living there.Rebecca Kessler (Conservation news)
A longer, sleeker super predator: Study paints more accurate picture of megalodon's true form
The megalodon has long been imagined as an enormous great white shark, but new research suggests that perception is all wrong. The study finds the prehistoric hunter had a much longer body—closer in shape to a lemon shark or even a large whale.University of California - Riverside (Phys.org)

"Nick-named Chipmunk #sharks for their small size and chisel-like front teeth and crushing back teeth, members of the Obruchevodidae were between 3-4 inches in length. Their small size allowed them to avoid larger predators as they foraged on crustaceans, worms, and small brachiopods found along the sea floor"

Sewing is a fairly recent craft for me, and as someone who loves little details, I had to learn to simplify for my pieces to be readable. In the end, I find that simplicity more efficient and charming than any amount of detail I could ever add!

Take Action Against Brutal Shark Finning Today!
Shark finning is a ruthless practice that involves pulling sharks from the ocean and slicing off their dorsal fins. The conscious, terrified animals are then dumped back into the water where they slowly die from blood loss, suffocation, or predators.drove.com

"Zooplankton were twice as common at shallow seamounts than in the open ocean, while shark biomass was 41 times higher.
"Our findings suggest that several factors combine to make seamounts so rich in sea life, especially predators," Dr Weber said.
"While primary productivity is not higher at the seamounts we studied, filter feeders may benefit from prey being 'blown over' the peak, and the peak may also stop prey species from retreating into deeper water to avoid predators. This effectively concentrates food in one predictable spot in the ocean.
"Also, some predators appear to use seamounts as 'hubs' to gather, socialise, mate or rest, and as a base to return to after hunting in the open ocean. This may lead to more top predators on seamounts than you would expect based on the amount of food available.""

Shallow seamounts are “oases” and activity hubs for pelagic predators in a large-scale marine reserve
Seamounts have been likened to ‘oases’ of life in the comparative deserts of the open ocean. This integrated study of tropical seamounts suggests that high faunal biomass is sustained by exogenous energy inputs and that they act as aggregating ’hubs’…journals.plos.org
