Are sharks pelagic

Yes, many sharks are considered pelagic, meaning they inhabit the open ocean rather than coastal or bottom environments. Pelagic sharks, such as the great white, tiger, and blue sharks, are often found in deep waters and are adapted for a life in open seas. However, some species of sharks, like nurse sharks and certain types of reef sharks, are more demersal, preferring to stay near the ocean floor or in coastal areas.
