'Global patterns of illegal marine turtle exploitation' received significant attention by major news outlets when it was published, so the SWOT team reached out to co-first authors, @ASU's @jesseSenko and Kayla Burgher, to learn more about their study 🐢

Got to give a talk about my favorite topic today at the #ISTS40 #Fisheries and Threats session! If you’re attending and missed this morning’s session, it’ll be available for on-demand viewing too, so you can check out our cool #seaturtle videos

Fishers who decked their nets with green LED lights caught way fewer undesirable species, including sharks and rays. https://t.co/5jPFBFlI1Q

[Reuters @Reuters]

A study publish in the journal Current Biology says fishing nets that glow green with LED lights may prevent marine animals from becoming accidentally entangled https://t.co/rbr8GI2n4B

Enjoyed talking with @nprscottsimon about our new net illumination study on @NPRWeekend! #fisheries #bycatch

When attached to fishing nets, LED lights dramatically reduce the incidental killing of sharks and other top predators that help keep marine ecosystems healthy and seafood on dinner plates. https://t.co/8VMLp0Kslc

It is a conservation idea from which everyone wins https://t.co/tGxbm6ab5s

LED illuminated nets reduce #bycatch of #sharks and #flatsharks by an incredible 95% while maintaining catch rates of target species: https://t.co/nAFwnm5naA

[News from Science @NewsfromScience]

New research shows that affixing green LED lights to fishing nets significantly reduces the catch of nontargeted animals, such as turtles, sharks, and squids. https://t.co/EisspajkhW

Aww! Even sea turtles like a good cuddle. @ASU_SFIS Assistant Research Professor @jesseSenko recently analyzed video of turtles engaging in surprising social behavior. Watch the adorable video. ⬇️

It was super fun and exciting to do field work for the first time! I got to hold, tag, measure, and release my very first sea turtle. So thankful for this opportunity and to those who helped me get here! @ASU @NSF @asuSOLS @jesseSenko @ASUResearch

[Jesse Senko @jesseSenko]

Check out the awesome work my PhD student @janiereavis_ is doing to better understand and reduce #seaturtle #bycatch in fisheries!

[Janie Reavis @janiereavis_]

Happy #green #seaturtle day of #SeaTurtleWeek! I am currently studying how green (and loggerhead) sea turtles interact with fishing gear and #bycatch reduction technology to reduce the threat of fisheries interactions. Coincidentally, I get to watch lots of cute videos like this.

@seanmcallister @ballenaschile @BedrinanaLuis @nature @alex_zerbini Wow @seanmcallister this is incredible. Def a good one to show in #FutureofOceans. Thanks for sharing!
