  abstract = {{S}ince 2011, the mean number of bites per year by bull sharks {C}archarhinus leucas has increased markedly at {R}eunion {I}sland. {T}o predict areas and periods of increased risk, we need to better understand the space-use dynamics of individual sharks. {I}n coastal waters off {R}eunion {I}sland, two bull sharks, one of each sex, were double-tagged and tracked for 174 days (male) and 139 days (female) using pop-up satellite archival tags ({PSAT}s) and acoustic transmitters. {B}oth sharks spent most of their time inshore (58.1% for the male and 89.9% for the female). {T}he female performed short excursions but typically remained inshore. {T}he male alternated between spending residence time along the coast and undertaking wide-ranging movements, including one extensive open-ocean excursion to the vicinity of a seamount situated about 210 km from the island. {D}ifferences in the residency and home range between the two sharks probably reflect different patterns of foraging and mating behaviours. {O}ur results highlight the advantages of double-tagging in telemetry studies that attempt to estimate the degree of habitat fidelity of a species and illustrate the need to consider the movement patterns of sharks at different scales when developing efficient risk-mitigation management.},
