Nurse sharks (Ginglymostoma cirratum) are common in Puerto Rico’s waters, often seen resting on the seafloor or in caves, and are considered docile and harmless to humans.
Here’s a more detailed look at nurse sharks in Puerto Rico:
Common Occurrence:
Nurse sharks are a frequent sight in Puerto Rico’s coastal waters, particularly around reefs and sandy bottoms.
Docile Nature:
They are known for their calm and non-aggressive behavior, making them relatively safe to encounter while snorkeling or diving.
Habitat:
Nurse sharks are often found resting on the seafloor in sand or within caves and crevices during the day.
Feeding Habits:
They primarily feed on invertebrates like crustaceans and mollusks, which they “sift” out of the sediment.
Locally Known as “Gata”:
In Puerto Rico, nurse sharks are sometimes referred to as “gata”.
Conservation Efforts:
Organizations like the Caribbean Manatee Conservation Center and Conservación ConCiencia are involved in educating the public and conducting research to protect sharks and other marine life, including nurse sharks.
SharkwatchPR:
If you see a shark, including a nurse shark, in Puerto Rico, you can submit your sighting to sharkwatchpr.com to contribute to conservation efforts. Call and book a tour and we will do our best to help you see one of these amazing creatures. #puertorico #rincon #rincón #sharks #sharksaretheshit #nurseshark #nursesharks #marinelife #marineanimals #marineanimals #saveourreefs #oceanconservation #ocean #oceanlife #oceanlover #oceanlove #loveouroceans #loveourocean #amazinganimals
