Cat Island Expedition

This GHRI tagging, diving, and fishing expedition on board Jim Abernethy’s Shear Water had taken several months to plan.

Jim Abernethy and his Ultimate Shark Diving Expedition team discovered the local abundance of OWT (Oceanic Whitetip) in Cat Island.Cruising to Cat Island, the Shear Water stopped off at Staniel Cay. Half a dozen pigs call nearby Big Major Cay home and invariably swim out to mooch from visitors.The OWT Tagging expedition was chronicled by award-winning director George Schellenger for an upcoming documentary. In addition to tagging, the research team also measured each shark, took blood samples and administered pregnancy tests.This blue marlin suffered massive bites from an OWT as the fish was being reeled in. Fisherman have found that the sharks seem to respond to boat engine noise and gather for an easy meal when a fish is hooked up.The team deployed two types of tracking tags during the expedition, PATs that collect data and SPOT tags that simply track movements.Jim Abernathy gets a close-up of an OWT.Fishing during the expedition was excellent, with the crew bringin in dolphin, tuna, marlin and more.Guy, George, Shara Teter & Dr. Mahmood Shivji aboard the Shear Water.Shear Water crew member Matt Heath.Shear Water crew members left to right: Matt Heath, Mike Black & Jay Castellano.Jim Abernethy.Guy with lionfish for dinner.
