From the crunchers to the slurpers…”Rays”ing awareness on #WorldOceanDay @MoteMarineLab

[Kim Bassos-Hull @MsHullRay]

So happy to support this amazing work Ari - a pleasure to work with you!

[Save Our Seas @saveourseas]

In partnership with Changing Seas South Florida PBS, Adriana Rojas Corzo's research on the habitat use of young whitespotted eagle rays will be showcased in a special episode in June 2024, revealing the first nursery areas for these rays in North America!

Very cool ray tagging study by our amazing #SouthAfrica colleagues!

🚨NEW PAPER!🚨

We did the first assessment of estuary use by two stingrays species (diamond and bull) in #SouthAfrica using #telemetry (movements recorded by the @ATAP_ZA) - lead by the brilliant @chantel3474!

Thanks Sue et al for sharing data on our eagle rays in that mix!

[Dr. Sue Lowerre-Barbieri @BarbieriSue]

Our nearshore Charlotte Harbor array had 13,239 detections that weren't from our fish. Data for 125 tagged animals (note the lack of fish bias) just shared with tag owners through @iTAG_Science ! Love seeing orphan detections going home🙂

27 tags unknown.😐

Two great new #sharkscience papers out today.
One on Indonesian shark and ray fisheries and trade by @dhika_fishery and collaborators (https://t.co/qRTQGD03s3)
The other on Caribbean reef shark movements by @squatinaivalina and collaborators (https://t.co/K24AOBGSCc)

[Dr. Sue Lowerre-Barbieri @BarbieriSue]

Excited to share our paper using an eco-evolutionary movement strategy framework & integrated tracking data @itag_science to compare movement traits across 23 fish species affecting #MPA effectiveness & vulnerability to #climatechange
