### Tagging  
Upon capture, sharks were inspected for the presence of any identification tags indicating previous capture from our research group or others. If no tag was present, a new dart tag (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Cooperative Shark Tagging Program (CSTP)) was deployed at the base of the first dorsal fin, with a stainless steel barbed dart secured into the musculature. Dart tags were only deployed for sharks deemed to be in good condition (i.e., showing no signs of impairment that would require an early release from the research vessel) and large enough (> -90 cm FL) that the dart could be safely implanted into the muscle. For recaptured sharks, the tag number was recorded. If a recapture occurred outside of the study location, the CSTP informed BBFS with available information about the recapture, including days at liberty, length of the shark upon recapture, and coordinates of recapture.  
A combination of passive acoustic and satellite telemetry was used to assess movement of individual tiger sharks, with individuals opportunistically chosen based on availability during surveys. Acoustic tags were deployed by gently rolling the shark ventral side up in order to induce a temporary state of tonic immobility [37], and subsequently the acoustic transmitter (V16-6H-6X, 69 khz, 120 s average nominal delay, Vemco Innovasea, Halifax, NS, Canada) was surgically implanted into the body cavity. The small incision made for the tag implantation was closed using 2-3 sutures. Acoustic detections were recorded on an array of receivers (VR2W, Vemco Innovasea) surrounding Bimini. This array consisted of approximately 60 stations (Figure 1), but this number varied across the study duration as new stations were established and receivers were lost or damaged. The effective detection range (i.e., maximum distance at which 50% of emitted signals can still be detected by receiver stations) of acoustic receivers in the Bimini array was estimated to be 211 m on the bank (seagrass and sandflats) and 255 m in the reef habitat [5]. Acoustic receivers were retrieved, downloaded, cleaned of biofouling, batteries replaced, and redeployed at least once per year. The detection of acoustic-tagged individuals beyond Bimini was accomplished through data-sharing networks, including the Integrated Tracking of Aquatic Animals in the Gulf of Mexico (iTag), Florida Atlantic Coast Telemetry (FACT), and Ocean Tracking Network (OTN).  
Smart Positioning and Temperature satellite tags (SPOT 6; Wildlife Computers, Redmond, WA, USA; Models SPOT 257, 258 and 364, with estimated battery lives of 1286, 300, and 300 days, respectively; 30 s repetition rate; 250 daily location uplink limit) were affixed to the first dorsal fin of some female tiger sharks. Similar to the acoustic tags, candidates were opportunistically chosen depending on tag availability, with priority given to pregnant individuals. Satellite transmitters attempted to transmit signals to the ARGOS satellite network when the shark's dorsal fin breached the water surface. However, satellites are not always overhead, or the tag may not remain at the surface long enough to obtain an accurate location fix based upon the number and proximity of satellites within the transmission range, resulting in a range of location classes (LC) of 3, 2, 1, 0, A, B, or Z (ordered from the lowest error of 250 m to the highest error or location error) [22; 38], with class 'Z' omitted from analysis.
