Is a #SharkRay a #shark or a #ray?

They're rays! Despite having shark-like features, they have flattened bodies with gills on the underside, both characteristics of rays.

The critically endangered bowmouth guitarfish is an example, which has been documented up to ~10 ft. long!

A growing picture is emerging of the North Sea #nurdle spill. Nurdles (plastic #pellets) have been reported washing up along the Norfolk coastline, an area known for its significance to birdlife.

🌊 Our Florida team hosted students from Waynesburg University this past January, giving them the chance to gather plastic nurdles for research!

🛠️ Do your own nurdle research using our Plastics Toolbox: https://t.co/cZjGN80WHX

New research shows that overfishing has halved the populations of sharks and rays, triggering a loss of ecological functions and increasing extinction risk.

Annually, over 445,000 tonnes of plastic pellets spill into the environment from across the global plastic pellet supply chain, but this is preventable

Find info & resources on how a UN Global #PlasticsTreaty can address global pellet pollution here👉 https://t.co/F4N7NdK0S1

Loved studying this behaviour. Part of my studies found myself watching these stations for long periods of time and documenting all the species cleaned. #arochamarine

#SundaySpecies: Welcome to the cleaning stations of the Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse! 🪥

These hygienists perform a tail-dance to invite "clients" to their cleaning stations, where they remove parasites and dead skin. In return, they enjoy a nutritious meal.

Just when we think there is nothing left to discover on planet earth, we find a massive coral made of nearly one billion little polyps, pulsing with life and color. 🪸 https://t.co/1G6nh0EHqQ
