Sharks are out there, sharks are mysterious. And we have them here in Costa Rica - that’s a fact. An interesting research project now wants to track sharks and their routes around Cocos Islands off the coast of Costa Rica.

The objective of the tracking is to understand and to save hammerhead shark population in that area. The full report about this project can be read here.

There are different shark species in the Pacific along the Costa Rican shore - hammerheads, white tip reef sharks, bullhead sharks. Locals report about shark populations in the north of Guanacanaste, but so far no known incidents!
