• Resumen

  • Here in the turbulent waters of the Pacific Ocean 10 kilometres offshore from the town of Minato, in Japan's Shizuoka prefecture, groups of up to several hundred hammerheads gather every summer. Back in the 1980s, marine biologist Pete Klimley suggested that similar schools in the Gulf of California were a social refuge--a space for females in particular to get some downtime, saving energy by swimming together, and possibly avoiding male harassment, which is common in sharks. Here, Jacoby talks about diving.
