Abstract in brief
The study examines 35 years of tiger shark populations near Bimini, Bahamas, highlighting that their numbers have remained stable despite fishing bans and shark sanctuaries.
Comparing this to data from the Southeastern US, the tiger shark numbers there have slowly increased after prior declines, indicating some recovery.
Overall, the findings suggest that conservation efforts like Marine Protected Areas and bans on certain fishing methods are helping to maintain or improve tiger shark populations in these regions.
Tiger Sharks appear to be on the rebound in the NW Atlantic! Stable to increasing trends in abundance and length from long term monitoring efforts in the US and Bahamas. Nice work by Smukall et al. #OceanOptimism #SharkScience https://t.co/nExarRK1BW https://t.co/AG95Joz2Qz
Some #Oceanoptimism for a change: long term (35 year!) data from Bahamas suggest conservation efforts have led to slight increases in tiger shark populations.

A new paper lead by @BiminiSharkLab, in collaboration with Shedd Research, demonstrates the benefits of consistent long-term datasets for monitoring tiger shark abundance trends and assessing the success of shark conservation measures in The Bahamas:
