Southeast Queensland Bull sharks

Bull sharks present through most of their lifecycles near urbanised coastlines, including estuarine and near-coastal habitats.

Pressures on bull shark populations include habitat destruction, modification to nursery areas and increased human-shark interactions.

Our urban bull shark project aims to study bull shark behavioral changes alongside increased human activity.
