Some very sad, confronting evidence that #recreationalfishing can be fatal for #greynursesharks

[Louw Claassens @ClaassensLouw]

Today was a disappointing one. This #raggedtoothshark was found with two massive hooks in his mouth - #fishinggear specifically targeting #sharks. Left to die - the hooks turn into potential #ghostfishingear. Why is #sharkfishing a thing? Can we #bebetter ? @StrandloperP #knysna

Awful image of a #quoll found dead with it's head stuck in a plastic bottle

We have a lot of work to do regarding the way we use and dispose of #plastic, but a good start is to not thoughtlessly discard it. Quolls & other sp. have enough to contend with already. What a waste...

@sawsharkman And rays...and turtles...and dolphins...and whales... So much protection!

@Brantromyzon Wow this is awesome!

[Sarah Reid-Anderson @SarahjmRA]

I probably should have mentioned that the Glaucus atlanticus feed on blue bottles (these guys in the photo below) and sequester the stinging nematocysts to use in their own defense later! They can't get any cooler...

[Sarah Reid-Anderson @SarahjmRA]

@dollseyes2 I found it in Sydney, Australia! Connecticut? I don't think so, unfortunately!

[Sarah Reid-Anderson @SarahjmRA]

@Tom32i The east coast of Australia! Or waters in Europe, South Africa and Mozambique!

[Sarah Reid-Anderson @SarahjmRA]

@gardenmum7 @HobartRuth It's a type of nudibranch/sea slug :)

[Sarah Reid-Anderson @SarahjmRA]

@KevinVGC I agree!!

[Sarah Reid-Anderson @SarahjmRA]

@mcmsharksxx Yes!! Just keep an eye out for loads of blue bottles :D :D

[Sarah Reid-Anderson @SarahjmRA]

Oh Glaucus atlanticus...how I love finding you

[Sarah Reid-Anderson @SarahjmRA]

Perhaps all ants can be (drama) queens! https://t.co/P2dcNIPtWA

Wounded ants may act more grievously hurt than they really are when possible rescuers near. https://t.co/Xh14SROrQ3

Cool study shows that you can convert older 2D measurements of #corals into more modern and meaningful 3D measurements https://t.co/49A1njuvPL
