Animal-borne cameras like this one are attached to the fins of #sharks. Eventually, they release and float to the surface where researchers retrieve them and log the footage. #sharkresearch #animalcameras #girlfest #marinescience #SDG4 #SDG14

[FIU College of Arts, Sciences & Education @FIUCASE]

Our Ed Outreach teams are out talking animal-borne camera tech today w/@GSCTF. Our researchers deploy these cameras on #sharks, #whales and #turtles to study behavior. #girlfest #research #marinescience #SDG14 #SDG4 #STEM #nature #coolscience

It's #EndangeredSpeciesDay! At @FIU, we're at the frontlines of conservation in some of the world's biodiversity hotspots. Some of the animals we work with include Hawksbill Sea Turtles, Lemurs and Indian Ocean Humpback Dolphins. (1/3)

Proud of @basecology, a recent @heithauslab graduate, for his work studying bull shark response to hurricanes 🦈

Thanks to @supercar_rooms for stopping by our booth to learn about some of the amazing research we’re doing to clean up our oceans! #sciencewithanattitude

Just hanging out with the “turtley” awesome @savetheseaturtl foundation! Talking about turtles and marine research geared at saving our seas 🌊 🐢

[FIU Institute of Environment @FIUEnvironment]

We’re here at @Miamiyachtshow highlighting our marine & plastic pollution research! @CRESTCAChE is always looking for ways to address #plasticpollution that ends up in our oceans, working with @SeaKeepers to save our seas! @CourtneyKnauer9 shows off our @globalfinprint work!🦈

PhD student Courtney Knauer (@islandgirl_0910) blending in with the locals while doing research at @heithauslab Courtney is examining the foraging ecology of sea turtles and looking at how they contribute to the community dynamics within their habitats. … https://t.co/Wk31hzNCyK

A green sea turtle tagged by our #Abaco team was found on land after #HurricaneDorian! Thankfully the turtle was still alive and released safely back into the water. See this post for the full story! ⁦@BethWhitmanFIU⁩ ⁦@earthwatch_org⁩ https://t.co/Nm7IejtQAz

New paper published by Heithaus Lab PhD candidate @basecology 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈

[Heithaus Lab @heithauslab]

It’s #hawksbill day of #seaturtleweek! @CourtneyKnauer9 is in Nosy Be studying the environmental and anthropogenic drivers of hawksbill distribution and their foraging ecology on coral reefs! Today our team found hawksbill nesting tracks at one of Courtney’s research sites!

[Heithaus Lab @heithauslab]

Great day of green sea turtle captures and releases in Nosy Be, Madagascar! Our Madagascar team successfully captured 8 individuals! PhD student @liberty_boyd is studying these animals to understand their foraging and movement behaviors in the Nosy Be region. #seaturtleweek
