#SawfishScience! I’m very excited to share our paper (my 1st, first-author #sawfish paper😊) on tracking public interest and perceptions about smalltooth #sawfish using Instagram! You can find the paper here https://t.co/fngI2vyTXA #RespectReleaseReport #SawfishResearch (1/4)

The SCS is excited to announce a Request for Proposals for a #Sawfishresearch & #Conservation Small Research Grant. Please see the attached document for the proposal instructions and grant application form.

#InternationalSawfishDay is only 6 days away! Each day this week we will feature a different species of #sawfish. Today we are featuring the only species found in the U.S., the smalltooth sawfish. You can learn more about smalltooth sawfish here https://t.co/iG53Xlkbnx.

[Andrea Kroetz, Ph.D. @AndreaKroetz]

We've been acoustically tagging and tracking #endangered smalltooth #sawfish in Florida and around The Bahamas to understand habitat use and movement ecology of all life stages. #sawfishresearch #InternationalSawfishDay

[Ocean Tracking Network @OceanTracking]

#DYK that sawfish are some of the most endangered fish globally? OTN collaborators with the @FACT_Network are tagging & tracking smalltooth sawfish in Florida to better understand their movements & habitat use & support recovery & conservation efforts. #InternationalSawfishDay

[U.S. Sawfish Recovery @SawfishRecovery]

For #InternationalSawfishDay please share info about #sawfish encounters in the U.S.: visit https://t.co/iV08AxuvRK, call 1-844-4SAWFISH, email [email protected], or enter the details in the FWC Reporter App. Details help scientists track recovery progress & target field surveys.

[Andrea Kroetz, Ph.D. @AndreaKroetz]

For #InternationalSawfishDay check out our brand new animated video that demonstrates how to safely and legally interact with #sawfish you encounter while diving, snorkeling or boating, or catch while fishing with hook and line or nets. https://t.co/Dn3zQg3Xtl

[SARA - Sharks and Rays Australia @SharksAndRaysAu]

It's our favourite day of the year. It's International Sawfish Day! 🎉
To celebrate why grab some SARA merch? All proceeds go to #conservation and #research of #sawfish and other endangered elasmobranchs! https://t.co/YYKGnPOzM2

See this beautiful green #sawfish from Pilbara 😍

[Andrea Kroetz, Ph.D. @AndreaKroetz]

Consider donating to #sawfishresearch! Donations will go towards purchasing outreach materials and travel to educational events to spread the word about these #endangeredspecies!

[Havenworth Coastal Conservation @CoastalElasmos]

It's #InternationalSawfishDay!! You can donate to support our public #sawfish outreach and education efforts at https://t.co/BncJDiSubJ. Funds will be used to travel to events and purchase educational materials.

[The Shark Trust @SharkTrustUK]

Today is #InternationalSawfishDay! Sawfish are large, shark-like rays with a distinct toothed ‘rostrum’ shaped like a saw. There are five species in total, all are listed in a threat category on @IUCNRedList. Follow @sawfishconserv to find out more about these unique rays!

[Havenworth Coastal Conservation @CoastalElasmos]

@sawfishconserv receives 10% of proceeds from #sawfish design items at https://t.co/KbZ8ds4X4G! These beautiful, handmade, reusable items (bags, napkins, towels) show your #sawfishluv & help SCS connect the world to advance global sawfish education, research & conservation!

[U.S. Sawfish Recovery @SawfishRecovery]

For #InternationalSawfishDay visit our website https://t.co/Hw9mnZpl6B to learn about #sawfish research and conservation in the United States. Meet the recovery team and learn sawfish viewing, handling, and reporting guidelines.

[Shark Advocates @SharkAdvocates]

#EndangeredSpeciesDay on a #FlatSharkFriday:
A great time to express appreciation for Tonya Wiley of @CoastalElasmos and her tireless work to spread the word about Florida's Endangered Smalltooth Sawfish (especially what people can do to help save them) 💚#RespectReleaseReport

[Andrea Kroetz, Ph.D. @AndreaKroetz]

New paper alert! We examined the risk of #endangered smalltooth #sawfish being captured as bycatch in US commercial fisheries. Not surprisingly, the shrimp trawl fishery is the greatest risk for this species off SW FL threatening recovery. DM for a copy! https://t.co/rSlnWyKE9M

#sawfish Sunday!

[Elasmobranch Society @ElasmoSociety]

In case you thought we'd be skimping on Sawfish Content, this recent paper led by @AndreaKroetz on public perceptions of sawfish conservation made the cover of Aquatic Conservation! #ElasmoScienceSunday https://t.co/NWKJf8szjP

[Andrea Kroetz, Ph.D. @AndreaKroetz]

I'm proud that our manuscript tracking public interest & perceptions of smalltooth #sawfish conservation via social media is published in Aquatic Conservation Marine & Freshwater Ecosystems & our photo made the cover, highlighting our #sawfishresearch! 😃https://t.co/fngI2vyTXA

[Andrea Kroetz, Ph.D. @AndreaKroetz]

@Matt_Bernanke Do tell

[Andrea Kroetz, Ph.D. @AndreaKroetz]

@OscherwitzEvan @WhySharksMatter I hope you have a great class! I'm here to answer all your sawfish questions 😁

[Dr. Sue Lowerre-Barbieri @BarbieriSue]

Networked telemetry data & an eco-evolutionary framework applied to 23 species to assess comparative movement ecology important to management. Check out our on-demand #BLS7Hawaii talk. If u work with🐢��🦌🐺🐳🐓🦅🐒🦊🪳🦋🐨would this framework have application to your species?

[NOAA Fish Southeast @NOAAFisheriesSE]

NOAA Fisheries and partners continually strive to conserve and recover smalltooth #sawfish in the U.S. If you are lucky enough to see or catch a sawfish remember they are endangered and follow the guidance #RespectReleaseReport. #INTLsawfishday

[NOAA Fish Southeast @NOAAFisheriesSE]

Researchers surgically implanting 5-or 10-yr acoustic tags in smalltooth #sawfish to assess movement & habitat use throughout the southeastern U.S. & Bahamas. Receivers detect tagged sawfish when they pass close by, recording date/time & identity. #INTLsawfishday Pic:Olivier Born

[NOAA Fish Southeast @NOAAFisheriesSE]

Several metrics indicate that the U.S. population of smalltooth #sawfish is slowly increasing. This includes the capture of juveniles outside of the core nursery in areas like Indian River Lagoon and Tampa Bay, FL. #RespectReleaseReport #INTLsawfishday
