Thanks for the report. Do you see them concentrate around the power plant much? I know the warm effluent attracts manatee but wouldn't think sharks would necessarily follow suit. I was speaking with some FAU researchers doing aerial surveys of the blacktip migration through your area. I think their funding is about to run out for more flights. You might touch base with them on your flying observations.

A young surfer was bitten on the hand off Bathtub Reef earlier last month from something that may have been involved in the migration.
