During the summer months, July and August, as part of the “Call of the Shark Project” we visited Bahia Magdalena in Baja California. To our surpirse, the warm water of el niño brought with it all of the large pelagic of warm waters. We were surrounded by schools of Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Tuna, Bonito and even a curious whale shark. To top it off we had 15+ silky sharks swimming along side us. But the real cherry on top was a large smooth hammer head that stayed with us for at least an hour the last day. We managed to get Gabino, a local fishermen and a collaborator in our Call of the Shark project to jump in the water with the silky sharks. It was the first tiime he saw sharks in the water after 20+ years of going out into the ocean. I guess we have one more shark advocate on our side, this time a local fishermen.
