this image was taken 300 miles off the coast of Costa Rica at the island of Cocos. The water around Cocos is very nutrient rich which brings in a lot of sharks. sadly though the long line fishermen know this and target this area. speaking to the guides on our dive boat about this , they inform me that this long lining practice has had a dramatic effect on the numbers of sharks around the island.
