Thousands of blacktip sharks have been spotted off the Florida coast as part of their northern migration. Arial footage from above the water showed thousands of little black dots around the sea: "All the dots, every single one of those is a shark," said professor of biological sciences at Florida Atlantic University Dr Stephen Kajiura.
Speaking to WPBF 25, Kajiura said: "This year, the sharks are coming in a little late. Typically, they get here around January or so, but this year they aren't arriving until the end of January." He also said the last time he flew over the seas he spotted at least 10,000 of the sharks. Researchers at the university are now trying to work out why the sharks are migrating later than usual and what has attracted so many to the Florida coast now.
Kajiura suggested that the change in migration pattern might be because of climate change: "This indicates northern migration is actually expanding. They'
