Summary[edit] Description: Who goes there? Just a couple of sand tiger sharks on the wreck of Caribsea! Early in the morning of March 11, 1942, Caribsea was struck by a German U-boat's torpedo while traveling to Norfolk, Virginia with a cargo of manganese ore. The ship sank in under two minutes, and after drifting for approximately ten hours while clinging on to the wreckage, the seven surviving crew members were picked up by the steamship Norlandia. Today, Caribsea rests in 85 feet of water, where it now sustains a rich marine ecosystem for organisms from algae to sharks. This is one wreck that may be protected by an expanded Monitor National Marine Sanctuary. Photo Credit: NOAA. Date: 28 June 2016, 15:49. Source: MNMS - Sand Tiger Shark.

Summary[edit] Description: English: Lisboa, Portugal The main exhibit is a 1,000 m2 (11,000 sq ft) tank. It is 7 m (23 ft) deep, which allows pelagic swimmers to swim above the bottom dwellers, and provides the illusion of the open ocean. About 100 species from around the world are kept in this tank, including sharks, rays, barracudas, groupers, and moray eels. Date: 4 October 2019, 19:18:46.

Summary[edit] Description: Tiger sharks are found in several national marine sanctuaries, including Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary, where this one was photographed. As apex predators, tiger sharks are incredibly important in maintaining the balance of ocean ecosystems. But despite their important role in ocean health, tiger sharks face a number of threats, including marine debris and commercial fishing. It's up to us to protect them -- and the marine ecosystems they benefit. Photo Credit: G.P. Schmahl/NOAA. Date: 25 March 2012, 19:17. Source: FGBNMS - Tiger Shark. Author: National Marine Sanctuaries.
