Abstract

Discovering how sharks behave around humans will have enormous implications for future studies, including the development of more effective ways to reduce negative shark/human interactions. This study investigates the effects of a diver’s mask color in relation to the shark's behavior and resulting swimming patterns of Caribbean reef sharks.
