From the submersible at a depth of 375 meters in the twilight zone, the team looked up. Above them: more than 40 hammerhead sharks moving together over a seamount in the Southeast Palau EEZ. 🦈 Seamounts are underwater mountains, and for hammerhead sharks, they act as aggregators of marine life, bringing together nutrients, food, and multiple different habitat types Scalloped Hammerheads typically travel in schools for long journeys for protection, enhanced hunting efficiency, and navigation Many hammerhead species are endangered, which makes documenting where they gather, and in what numbers, especially important. In Palau’s protected waters, sightings like this are a promising sign of what marine protected areas can help make possible.
