Rangiroa's shark nursery is situated within the expansive lagoon of Rangiroa, which is the second-largest atoll in French Polynesia and one of the largest in the world. The nursery area typically encompasses shallow, protected zones along the edges of the lagoon, where water depths range from just a few meters to around 20 meters (65 feet). These shallow waters are characterized by warm temperatures and high nutrient levels, providing ideal conditions for the growth and development of juvenile sharks. Within the nursery habitat, sharks find refuge and ample food sources.
