There’s a lot to say and more to come about our new paper! Here’s our latest detective work 🕵️♂️ “Detecting Mediterranean White Sharks with Environmental DNA” | Oceanography https://t.co/Xe79ANRJf6
New paper on SharkPulse as a global initiative to harness big data from social networks and online archives-- increasing observation data and supplementing population assessments.
PhD student @JenretteJf leading eDNA sampling in the Adriatic Sea in May 2024 (https://t.co/0pGhoMq2Hw) with @SeaKeepers on TE STREEP. Please consider donating to the White Shark Chase (https://t.co/X0mw5fgbZ6) to help expand operations https://t.co/3JCwE1M7oz! #WSC2024
There’s more to blue cheese than just the stench. Virginia Tech researchers discovered a way to synthesize a compound in the mold of blue cheese that has antibacterial and anticancer properties. Congratulations Sydney Johnson and Pablo Sobrado😎👏https://t.co/OBfk4TlKeV
The White Shark Chase is expanding eDNA sampling and testing #citizenScience kits! PhD student @JenretteJf and @SeaKeepers have just completed a transect along the Adriatic Sea aboard TE STREEP. Another team is operating between the Balearic Islands and Sardinia. #WSC2024
Part 1 of our Scientist-Led expedition with @SeaqlL to collect environmental eDNA data to detect white sharks in the Mediterranean.
Ever wondered what a day in the life of a marine researcher is like? Program Development Manager, Aubri Keith, is here to show you what it’s like!
Join our lab and @vt_fishwild department at @virginia_tech@vt_cnre for a Ph.D. starting in Aug 2024. Dive into fisheries science, management, and conservation with an interdisciplinary and quantitative research project using trawl survey data. Apply now! https://t.co/fO2rWZaTE2
🚨New Course Alert🚨

Having larger media coverage doesn't mean that the #whiteshark pup spotted in #California is the first ever filmed in the #wild.
Have a look at this ~1m long (the fisherman said 85cm) pup caught and released in the #Aegean Sea, #Mediterranean in 2012.

NEW STUDY: Capture Response and Long-Term Fate of White Sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) after Release from SMART Drumlines
Butcher et al. tagged 36 white sharks with SLRTs and acoustic tags caught in NSW using non-lethal SMART drumlines before release.

🆕As of tomorrow @CITES listed blue #sharks caught in Mediterranean international waters can't be landed in EU states anymore. Rebuilding the population of @IUCNRedList critically endangered Blue Shark 🦈 in the Mediterranean is urgently needed.
And that’s a wrap for @WhiteSharksGlob ! Amazing week with 4 plenaries, 65 presentations, and 9 workshops attended by 164 delegates including scientists, managers, and industry from 9 countries. Thanks to the organising committee, especially @Meyer_Sci and @ChloeNRoberts_
