Fishing effort weighted by hook hours for the pelagic longline fishery in A winter, B spring, C summer, and D fall in the years 2009–2016. Overlap of the fishery and dusky shark horizontal movements is represented for E winter, F spring, G summer, and H fall. The time–area closures for the pelagic longline fishery are denoted by simple hatch gridmarks and the Charleston Bump is in effect from February 1 to April 30, while the East Florida Coast is closed year-round. The small overlap that occurs in the closed areas when fishing is not allowed is due to the radii used in the analysis and the seasonal opening and closing of the areas to fishing.
