Laurent Ballesta embarked on an extraordinary journey during the June 2014 full moon, aiming to study a massive congregation of groupers at the Fakarava atoll in Polynesia. To his astonishment, he stumbled upon over 700 grey sharks, raising questions about the social dynamics of such an unprecedented gathering. Over three years, Ballesta and his international team faced their fears, preparing to dive into the fray. Equipped with microchip-fitted sharks, hydrophones, and synchronized cameras, they aimed to uncover the sharks' strategies as the groupers arrived for their annual spawning. The mission promised to reveal the mysteries of this wild marine spectacle.
