  abstract = {{T}he grey reef shark, {C}archarhinus amblyrhynchos, is one of the most abundant coral reef sharks throughout the {I}ndo-{P}acific. {H}owever, this species has been critically impacted across its range, with well-documented population declines of > 90% attributed to human activities. {A} key knowledge gap in the successful implementation of grey reef shark conservation plans is the understanding of large-scale movement patterns, along with the associated biological and ecological drivers. {T}o address this shortfall, we acoustically monitored 147 adult and juvenile grey reef sharks of all sexes for more than 2 yr across the {N}ew {C}aledonian archipelago, {W}est {P}acific. {H}ere, we document multiple adult males undertaking return journeys of up to nearly 700 km in consecutive years. {T}his constitutes the first evidence of repeated long-range migrations for this species. {A}lthough only a limited number of adult males were definitively tracked undertaking migrations, similar timing in changes in the detection patterns of a further 13 animals, mostly adult males, suggests this behavior may be more common than previously thought. {T}he paucity of evidence for juvenile migrations and timing of adult movements suggest that mating is the motivation behind these migrations. {O}ur results have important implications for management, given the potential of mature individuals to recurrently travel outside managed or protected areas. {F}uture management of this species clearly needs to consider the importance of large-scale migratory behaviors when developing management plans.},
