An investigation into shark behaviour during the recent fatal incident in Hadera, from a species not normally considered to be traumatogenic to humans. Shark provisioning must be highly regulated moving forwards 🦈 pls RT!
Actually @realDonaldTrump, plastic (in its various forms) does impact sharks, and is likely severely underreported.
How do I know? Because I wrote the peer-reviewed scientific research papers on it.

In 2019, @UniofExeter scientists scoured existing published studies and Twitter for shark and ray entanglements, and found reports of more than 1,000 entangled individuals. Read more: https://t.co/0FlofiYZ3C #WorldEnvironmentDay#BeatPlasticPollution

.@ConservationOrg Marine Safety Officer Edgardo Ochoa has made it his mission to rid oceans of discarded fishing gear that ensnares marine life. And a recent encounter with a manta ray entangled in a fishing line made for one of the most emotional moments of his career. #EarthDay
@MantaTrust Hi @MantaTrust we’d love this sighting on the ShaREN database if you would be able to upload it via the link here: https://t.co/8P1oanOklb 🦈🦈
Nurse #Sharks have a wide repertoire of feeding behaviours adapting them for #foraging in different seascapes (tropical reefs/sand banks/mangroves). Including:
A.) Vertical Feed
B.) Pectoral Positioning
C.) Stationary Feed
D.) Ventral Feed

Marine debris is a huge problems for all marine life, including sharks. Divers were able to remove this line from this silky shark, but most animals are not so lucky.
This image is a powerful reminder of why we need to keep our oceans clean!

The 'shark control program' has proven to have lethal effects to endangered wildlife, pushing current research efforts toward non-invasive management methods
Approximately 10% of our reports involve sharks with hooks impaled in the mouth region🪝
These are generally sourced from commercial fishing lines and can remain lodged for years.
Here is a recent photo of a bull shark (C. leucas) with a hook in the jaw.
