Video - 50 Shark Feeding Behavior

[ricki]

Put together a short video clip from about a hour of footage of fifty or so Grey Caribbean Reef Sharks in a feeding behavior put on by Stuart Cove over off New Providence in the Bahamas.

Video at: [ame=http://fksa.org/showthread.php?p=42276#post42276]Video - Sharks! - FKA Kiteboarding Forums[/ame]

and a few stills ...

Wondering what to do with the footage, a video screen saver? Ideas?

Thanks! Have a lot of content, trying to figure out how to use it. Will probably do a couple of clips, to be posted here.

Ricki,

I just got a chance to look at the vids of staghorn off Lauderdale. That's amazing and heartening, both. What depth? Did you get any sense of growth rate, how long its been there, expansion rate, any other info? Has anybody been out looking to see if there is more of this stuff?

FYI, Mama Rhoda rocks near Chub Key, Bahamas once had very large stands of staghorn and elkhorn (30-40 years back) Over time these pretty much died, but as of about 5 years ago the staghorn was coming back in a big way. Not like it once was, but I could see the possibility. We dove it 2 or 3 times over about a 4 year period and it seemed to be getting better each time.

Think there is any connection?

Was that Ft Lauderdale or Town of Palm Beach? I heard...I guess about a week or so ago that Florida and the Town of PB are arguing because of the Staghorn found there. Florida wants to turn it into a vessel exclusion zone, because of the Staghorn. The Town want things only for their pleasure and purpose.

Hey guys,

As you bring it up, I think it is an important enough topic to warrant its own thread, at: http://forums.deeperblue.com/beach-bar/84444-staghorn-comeback.html#post786250
