This finding is no coincidence. Scientific guided fisheries in the developed world with financial support for funding and overexploitation in the developing world and the Global South, where financial support for shark science is scarce and many coastal communities depend on artisanal fisheries 🦈🌊

My thoughts and best wishes are with Mauricio who has done so much for elasmobranch research and conservation! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🦈💙

Dear David, I saw that Sri Lanka is inside the range of the salties....🐊🧂 Therefore, it would be advisable to be cautious if you've planned to jump into the sea or another water body that isn't the hotel pool......😅

🐂🦈💙💙💙

It would be more pleasant to see this specimen alive swimming in the ocean rather then dead with sale stickers on an Indian fish market.....🦈😞😢

Awesome! Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Museum records are extremely valuable for science!

Some awesome news for your Monday. Critically endangered grey nurse sharks are increasing in number by about 5% a year, the first time the conservation efforts have seemed to work for this species! Still just 1500 breeding adults across eastern Australia...

In my opinion, it looks like the marbled goby (Pomatoschistus marmoratus) or a close relative of this species of fish 🐟🤔

I've reserved a room in the Van der Valk Hotel Blijdorp Rotterdam which is only a few hundred meters away from the conference hall: maps.app.goo.gl/2JcsBehWs5Dz...

Newborn sharks swim like ‘ninjas’ to avoid predator attacks New research shows that baby blacktip reef sharks use warm waters to boost their escape performance from adult sharks, barracudas and other predators.

Newborn reef sharks are ninja swimmers! 🥷🦈⚡️ Our latest study shows pups can dodge predators in under 20ms. A reminder of how amazing—and vulnerable—shark nursery habitats are. Read more via @jcuofficial.bsky.social : www.jcu.edu.au/news/release...
