Love to end the week with seagrant fully funded so we can do year 2!

Its a good way to start the week. Here on St John USVI tagging and tracking. First fishing and caught 2 juvenile lemons. 133cm TL and 90.5cm TL showing that coral bay provides resources for multiple cohorts when lumped in with the YOY sharks we tagged in may. #shark #ocean #marinelife #carribean 🦈

What if he rapture did actually happen but nobody qualified?

I know its been an minute but here are some baby lemon #sharks ATTCKING out BRUV in the United States Virgin Islands. We are tracking and surveying these little buggers across 4 islands, 2 countries, 9 embayments. #caribbean #science #seagrass #habitat #ocean #conservation #USVI #fisheries

"It was going well until at the Provincetown public library items went missing......."

St. John bays provide important habitat for young sharks The Discovery Channel’s annual summer-time Shark Week has popularized sharks on the TV screen, but in the waters surrounding St. John it is not uncommon to see a shark.

For the Past week we have been lucky enough to study a Nurse Shark Breeding Aggregation in the British Virgin Islands.

This is one breeding event I was lucky enough to document via Drone.

It was NUTS.

No coitus interruptus for these two. But we did tag 2 nurse sharks today! #shark #marinelife #ocean #nonprofit ❤️😈😬😉

Shark number 40. This baby lemon on Anegada getting it's transmitter.

In the past few weeks the team and I have tagged 40 sharks of 4 different species.

Two territories. 4 islands. So many questions.

In the BVI and caught our first Lemon pup.

After a good day of catching baby sharks. A skinny legs burger in Coral bay StJ is perfect. #shark #marinelife #ocean #carribean #marine #biologist #field 🦈 🦑 🌊 🧪 🌍 🦠

I BRUV YOU!

This determined nurse shark at our BRUV on St thomas USVI yesterday was a very big fan of the mackerel in the tube.

Word of the day is "Bycatch" refering to the unintentional capture of non-target species.
During our juvy #shark long line survey we captured this beauty of an African Pompano. The conservationist in me cringes at bycatch but the fish Biologist get excited!

To tag a #shark is hope to detrct a shark tomorrow.... or something!

These are for tigers and nurses and lemons oh my!

It's bby #shark season and with a new project = new questions
Like does the increase in #sargassum effect baby sharks?
Btwn 06-12 we studied a nursery area for juvenile blktip & lemon sharks in Coral Bay St John
Today I redeployed an acoustic reciever in the core area for YOY blktips
It was gross.

Busy busy. Another 12 hour days but with 18 recievers deployed today and testing our the New BRUV design. Here is your moment of Zen. #shark #ray #ocean #carribean #marine #biologist #field 🦈🦑🌊🧪🌍🦠

Label your shit!

Got a call from a beach goer today! Found a lost reciever from my #whiteshark work that just leaves (to many to admit) left to recover.

He was kind enough to drop it off at my office while I'm in the islands for sharking!

Tagged in December. A 12 ft female tiger #shark stayed in a small territory until about 3.5 weeks ago it started heading north! It is sitting in about 21c water right now!
