Endangered Caribbean reef sharks and other shark species are making a striking recovery in Belize after plummeting due to overfishing between 2009 and 2019, according to recent observations.

Experts say the establishment of no-shark-fishing zones around Belize’s three atolls in 2021 is what enabled the population boom.

Fossil Research Identifies New 340 million years old #Shark Species at Mammoth Cave National Park home.nps.gov/maca/learn/news/f paper: doi.org/10.1017/jpa.2024.40

"Nick-named Chipmunk #sharks for their small size and chisel-like front teeth and crushing back teeth, members of the Obruchevodidae were between 3-4 inches in length. Their small size allowed them to avoid larger predators as they foraged on crustaceans, worms, and small brachiopods found along the sea floor"
