#DYK in September, we tagged & released four more dolphins 20-41NM offshore of Sarasota? We tracked the dolphins — nicknamed Sylvia, Ken, Sam and Bill after some of the greats in marine and cetacean science — as Hurricane Ian moved through. Read more: https://t.co/yRpWEEPwGh

Happy Halloween 🎃 from the Hart Lab! Check out this SPOOKY toadfish that we dissected last week as part of our #plasticpollution project.

Tita, how many #plastic particles do you see in the 🐠 from our @dolphinsarasota colleagues?

Plastics are made with chemicals, many are toxic and harm@human health, so:
How will the #PlasticsTreaty address the
Plastics Value Chain?
& the
Plastics Liability Chain?

These are the stomach contents of a Hardhead Catfish. What kind of #plastics do you think we will find? Stay tuned to see what these fish might tell us about #seafood safety and #plasticpollution. #OneHealth

What is @USCArnoldSchool PhD student Miranda Dziobak @Mir_226 cooking up this AM? She’s starting GI tract digestion to determine #plasticpollution exposure in #Sarasota #dolphin prey fish.

@AndyAread @DukeEnvironment @DukeMarineLab Such a powerful film

[Dr Leslie Hart (she/her) @BurdettHart]

Can you name these common bottlenose #dolphin prey #fish?

Which one do you think has more #microplastics?

Stay tuned to find out! 👀

[Dr Leslie Hart (she/her) @BurdettHart]

Great students are the foundation for research productivity. Excited for a new week with this team! This week, we look for evidence of #microplastic and #phthalate exposure in catfish 🤔

[Dr Leslie Hart (she/her) @BurdettHart]

@TitaaCurtinn @Fiona_Beatty So great to see you!! 💀 🚕
