Great coverage by @CapeMediaNews on our @GillsClub education initiative to inspire the next generation of female shark and ocean advocates! https://t.co/h6S53ygukS
This is great news for conservationists, but even better news for Mako sharks, who have seen their populations decline by up to 79% over the last 75 years. #makoshark#sharks
18 shark species, inc all mako, wedgefish & giant guitarfish were yesterday adopted for CITES App II listing in a committee vote @ #CITESCoP18. Fantastic news, now all work focuses on final plenary on 27th/28th, where some Governments may attempt to overturn these decisions.
The @A_WhiteShark & @GregSkomal were in the area off Cape Cod yesterday when a white shark killed a seal.After checking the tag,it was our own Miss Carolina that I tagged 2.6 yrs ago off South Carolina.Great to see her doing well, lookin plump and hunting successfully @MA_Sharks
We wanted to update you on Destiny, our porbeagle shark that was captured with a devastating injury caused by plastic that had become lodged around her neck. She looks to be making a remarkable recovery and is on the move! Stay tuned for updates on this amazing shark!
While some are still on the fence about tagging sharks, the amount of data that it pulls in is invaluable and can help us learn & understand more about them.
The 4 sharks tagged today brings the season total to 12 in just short of a month. The most ever tagged in one season off MA was 28 in 2017. With about 3 months left to work, how many sharks do you think will be tagged this year?
FIRST FOOTAGE EVER! Drone footage of an interaction between two white sharks off the coast of Chatham yesterday, taken by Nate Jensen. Our local shark science team is hoping to see the high res version to learn more about the interaction.
Just one month until our big Shark Week LIVE! event down at @BrewsterStreet !! π¦ Mark your calendars and tag some friends to join in the fun: https://t.co/4VbrVGXpPn
The sighting in Cape Cod Bay earlier today was white shark WS 16-32 aka Ashley Grace. She was tagged on 8/29/2016 off Cape Cod and has been back every year since, usually returning around this time. Since being tagged she's traveled to the Gulf of Mexico and the #LowCountry.
@clydebestsboots@MA_Sharks@A_WhiteShark Yes, Echoes of Jaws. You remember Jaws - it's the movie where 6 people got killed by sharks in one season, in the same area. Very similar to Cape Cod, where there have been two deaths due to sharks in EIGHTY THREE YEARS. #dramaticmuch
17-year old Paige Winter suffered horrible injuries, including having her leg amputated, but says "Sharks are still good people." Paige Winter is AMAZING people. #
Chris And Monique Fallows have taken some remarkable photos of sharks over the years, capturing their true spirit. Enjoy this collection at National Geographic. #fightingforfins

Our friend Peter wasn't happy about seeing preserved baby sharks for sale, and took crayon to paper to voice his opinion. We're with Peter on this barbaric practice. Learn more about how no one is taking responsibility here:

I'm not sure if the makers of the film are looking to portray sharks in a positive or negative light, but this might actually make sharks even more cool. Who doesn't want to see a "Massive, Prehistoric Killing Machine"? #themeg#megalodonsdontexist
