TAMPA, FL (WFLA) — In the largest migration in U.S. coastal waters, thousands of blacktip sharks lurk in the waters during their annual migration off Florida’s southeast coast.
Shark researchers at Florida Atlantic University have been observing and tracking the “snowbirds of the sea” to report their whereabouts in real-time.
The aerial video (above) was taken on Feb. 27 right off MacArthur Park in Singer Island. You can see dramatically fewer blacktip sharks during migration season as compared to video footage from previous years.
In prior years, researchers have reported as many as 15,000 sharks on any given day.
Florida Atlantic University said anyone in the water at this time will likely be within a 60-foot radius of one of these sharks.

It is one third of what it was.
