Shallow Waters

The shallow waters of the lagoon hold large shoals of baitfish - and are also home to the juvenile Black-tipped sharks, the larger sharks only venturing into the shallow waters under the cover of darkness.

The juveniles constantly move the shoals of small fish and at a point when the have the shoal on the tideline will charge into the shoal - what follows is small fish flying into the air some being beached and the sharks risking the same fate use the waves to pick them off from the sand.

Things can very frenzied when the jacks come in to feed and the local herons stand around waiting to pick off those fish that find themselves on the sand.

Tom and I spent sometime floating about and watching the sharks relentlessly moving the shoal about.
