  abstract = {{R}eef sharks are vulnerable predators experiencing severe population declines mainly due to overexploitation. {H}owever, beyond direct exploitation, human activities can produce indirect or sublethal effects such as behavioral alterations. {S}uch alterations are well known for terrestrial fauna but poorly documented for marine species. {U}sing an extensive sampling of 367 stereo baited underwater videos systems, we show modifications in grey reef shark ({C}archarhinus amblyrhynchos) occurrence and feeding behavior along a marked gradient of isolation from humans across the {N}ew {C}aledonian archipelago ({S}outh-{W}estern {P}acific). {T}he probability of occurrence decreased by 68.9% between wilderness areas (more than 25 hours travel time from the capital city) and impacted areas while the few individuals occurring in impacted areas exhibited cautious behavior. {W}e also show that only large no-entry reserves (above 150 km(2)) can protect the behavior of grey reef sharks found in the wilderness. {I}nfluencing the fitness, human linked behavioral alterations should be taken into account for management strategies to ensure the persistence of populations.},
