As soon as that shark passed overhead, everything aligned perfectly. The time of day was perfect, the way the sun kept peaking through the clouds was perfect and these incredibly sun rays formed all around the most iconic predator on the planet! #sharks#shark#greatwhite

Time and tide wait for no man - for no fish either. New publication from our lab:

Maybe one of the best days I’ve been alive. So much work went into finding this whale and the scene was one I’ll never forget. From 9am till we left it was a conveyer belt of large sharks. Sometimes we tagged, some times we just watched. Thanks for the help @MA_Sharks
There are few things that are better and more relaxing than shark diving. For that hour underwater, I am truly at peace. Who else loves #sharkdiving and is it relaxing for you or are you terrified? #cressi#sharkweek
...we just about gave up on our predation work bc the sun was too high & observing a breach was becoming less likely. But we decided to put in another 30 minutes of trolling...& WAAAAMOOO, a beautiful white sharks rips through the surface of the water for a spectacular breach!
Today, GGGI member #MyanmarOceanProject released a report revealing the wide reaching impact of #ghostgear on Myanmar’s Myeik Archipelago.
🐟 Researchers found ALDFG at 95% of surveyed locations
🐟 31% of those sites are ghost gear hotspots
🐟 1800kg of ALDFG was removed
So close that u can see each & every pore of this shark’s electro-sensory system! In murky waters where visibility may be zero, these sharks can key in on all their other specialized senses to navigate & find prey! I guess hundreds of millions of years of evolution pays off!
