The Gulf Stream provides. When things like this are discovered in our own backyard it makes me ask, what else don't we know yet?
We call them the Grey Nurse Shark here in Oz, they are critically endangered so great to see the report of a nursery where they can grow and mature. I have dived with them many times they are a truly magnificent creature.
Very interesting. Off NC we see a lot of sandtigers. I have seen a few younger ones. Say 4-5 ft. But never seen a true juvenile. Article does not say what sort of depths the juveniles are found in. Perhaps they are inshore of where we dive.
