Beautiful day to go birding with @tropicalaudubon! Adding my birds to @inaturalist for #CityNatureChallenge2018 Go Miami!

[Alison Enchelmaier @bigbluedesert]

Come and visit @tropicalaudubon at our booth this #earthday at @zoomiami

Cormorants always feed by diving for fish, but no one had ever seen the bird go for a fish stuck to a whale shark

@andrewc2005 why not both? 😆

[Alison Enchelmaier @bigbluedesert]

6:45? Time to birdwatch! @LeicaStoreMiami @tropicalaudubon #TASBirding #AudubonCBC

Shark culls are not effective nor scientifically supported. There are better ways, @A_WhiteShark @SharkSpotters

#SharkStorm is all about investigating #shark aggregations and social interactions!

[Alison Enchelmaier @bigbluedesert]

Some #sharks are able to pass water over their gills while not swimming. This method of respiration is called buccal pumping. #SharkWeek

Excellent description about how acoustic tags and receivers work on #SharkWeek #SharkStorm by @OrnellaWeideli and @DrGuttridge

[Shark Advocates @SharkAdvocates]

Scalloped hammerheads are listed by @IUCNShark as Endangered. Fins are prized, but meat is also eaten in many nations #SharkStorm #SharkWeek

@TexasSharks_JD I'm still waiting for them to use "a shiver of sharks". It's too fun of a phrase to not use!

[Jonathan Davis @TexasSharks_JD]

Well done #SharkWeek utilizing a new term... 'get together' of sharks as opposed to the ridiculously inaccurate 'infestation'

[Alison Enchelmaier @bigbluedesert]

Describing a shark's size as "monster" puts sharks in a negative light. Please stop using it as a descriptor #SharkWeek

[Jess Harms @JessLH3]

#LostCage is an actual research study based on a FAD (fish aggregating device). Much better than I expected #SharkWeek @HarteResearch

[Alison Enchelmaier @bigbluedesert]

I love the premise of #LostCage! Studying how sharks interact with artificial reefs is important for habitat conservation efforts!

[Andrew Nosal @AndrewNosal]

#AlienSharks was superb! Great job @VickySharky @TheSharkDoctor @SharkWeek for a fun & educational show! More like this! Yay goblin #sharks!

[Alison Enchelmaier @bigbluedesert]

What an amazing episode of #AlienSharks! Congratulations @VickySharky on tagging a goblin shark!

[Mariah Pfleger @MariahPfleger]

Many deep sea #AlienSharks are data deficient - little info on lifespan, diet, age, reproduction...a HUGE problem for management #SharkWeek

[Alison Enchelmaier @bigbluedesert]

BRUV (baited remote underwater video) on #sharkcrocshowdown and #AlienSharks! I'm feeling nostalgic for my masters work!
