Bearings and estimated swimming displacement distances (km day−1) between shark tagging locations (triangle, Madeira Beach and Key West, FL) and package recovery locations for individual sharks that survived longline capture (n = 115). Deployments where the estimated floating displacement was greater than the total displacement or where packages were attached to sharks for <6 h were not included. Sharks tended to travel offshore (west) and south of where they were tagged, with 75 % of float packages found between a bearing of 180° and 290° relative to where they were deployed, regardless of tagging location or time of year
