Oceanic Sharks Clean at Coastal Seamount
Simon P. Oliver, Nigel E. Hussey, John R. Turner, Alison J. Beckett

Below are links to the results of a five-year scientific study on the behaviour of thresher sharks that frequent Malapascua Island.

The results published in the peer reviewed scientific journal PLoS one are the culmination of work by the Thresher Shark Research and Conservation Project group and its volunteer research assistants.

The group continues to study the thresher sharks and the other animals that visit the site. If you would like to assist in the research please contact me at the address below.
