BY ADAM H. BEASLEYBy Adam H. Beasley Denise Herzing used to love starting her mornings at sea with a dip in the reef-protected waters off Grand Bahama. When she was out on dolphin-observation trips near Memory Rock -- off the island's West End -- the marine mammalogist would anchor in a spot that was usually safe from predatory sea animals. But those swims ended a few years back when unexpected guests crashed the party. More than a half-dozen lemon sharks began circling her boat, conditioned by humans to associate people with food. |
