Yes, a hammerhead shark is considered a nekton, which refers to aquatic organisms that are capable of swimming and moving independently of water currents. As a highly mobile predator, the hammerhead shark actively navigates through the ocean, hunting for prey. Its ability to swim against currents and depths classifies it within this category of marine life.
