Map of Costa Rica (Central America) showing sampling sites selected to survey elasmobranchs. Color markers indicate the location of the main (yellow: A–F) and additional sampling sites (black: G–K). Red dots represent the location of baited remote underwater videos stations at the main sampling sites. Additional sampling sites: (G) Culebra Bay, (H) Flamingo, (I) Nicoya Península, (J) Marino-Ballena, (K) Golfo Dulce. The bathymetry within the economic exclusive zone is shown in the larger map. Sampling sites were plotted using base and raster layers from the Costa Rican Geographic Information System (GIS) Atlas open-access project (https://hdl.handle.net/2238/6749) in ArcMap 10.4 (ESRI, Redlands, California).
