Habitat-use of the vulnerable Atlantic Nurse Shark: a review

Abstract: Human activities have led to the loss of critical habitats for aquatic species at such an accelerated rate that habitat modification is considered a leading threat to biodiversity. Sharks and rays are considered the second most threatened group of vertebrates that have also suffered from habitat loss, especially in nursery grounds and reef-associated species. In this sense, actions toward the conservation of critical grounds for species survival are urgently needed, especially for those threatened with extinct… Show more

“…Although overfishing no longer impacts G. cirratum in Bimini, habitat alteration could still affect their life history. Destruction of habitat known to be used by G. cirratum has been occurring in Bimini since 1997 (Pratt and Carrier, 2007;Carlson et al, 2021;Bettcher et al, 2023), which includes the construction of an extensive tourist complex (Gruber and Parks, 2002;Jennings et al, 2008;Trave and Sheaves, 2014). This could have detrimental impacts on G. cirratum in Bimini if it removes habitats that are essential to their survival since their life history strategies indicate that they may not have quick recovery potential (Corteś, 2000;Gallagher et al, 2012).…”
