Measuring the dorsal fin of a whale shark allow us to estimate the total length of the animal.
This lady measured 11m 🦈🦈

Norway 🇳🇴 : we are the greenest country, leading electrification of society 💚🥳

New in @Nature – Shipping is on the rise: four steps to curb #OceanRoadkill of marine giants – increasing evidence ships strikes are major cause of human-induced mortality for whales & #sharks, but some simple actions can turn things around @thembauk

We keep looking for the spotty giants in Principe island.
This picture is from Tinhosas, 2 small islands where the activity was over the roof: thousands of seabirds, great abundance of fish and plenty of whales.
Bisa is our captain and guide on this adventure 🇸🇹🦈

Paper alert 🚨 Bull sharks are famous for occurrences in low salinity environments....but how many people know how long they are able to survive in these? Several bull sharks in an Australian golf course lake have setted a new record of duration 🦈 https://t.co/bjI5gKw1Vy

How did illegal fishing behaviour change during the pandemic?

Our team's latest publication, out today in @CurrentBiology is revealing a worrying picture.

Update! Hectic first couple of days in São Tomé, but we finally going out at sea 🦈🦈. This was our fantastic ride for the 4am start of today, amazing to see the fishing community of Neves so proactive to get involved on marine conservation.
Excited for what’s next! 🇸🇹🇸🇹

[Jorge Moreno🇮🇨🦈 @jorgemorenogc]

After a small break from twitter I would like to share that we will be heading to the Gulf of Guinea for a very exciting project in the upcoming week.

This project will involve some work with the good old spotty giants.

Stay tuned for more! 🦈🦈🦈 #sharkresearch #africa

Surprise email this morning when I get my first citation for my undergraduate thesis about coastal elasmobranchs in the island of Tenerife.
I remember I was 19 on my second year when I started gathering data for the thesis. Looking back, I am sure my young self would be proud!

@Tendar You know, it makes me stop and think.
From the inside of EU we see warts and all and the endless squabbles... But then you see that the EU flag is used now as the symbol of hope outside of EU... Powerful.

This is going to be iconic.

Abundance dies twice - in the field, and in memory. One of the greatest struggles facing all restoration-initiatives in conservation is the tyranny of low expectations. People begin complaining about beavers or wolves being overpopulated once their numbers reach over 1/80 km^2

Just Published! We developed exciting new technology that documented, for the first time, live birth in wild sharks! Together with @SulikowskiLab & collaborator @LotekWireless , read it here: https://t.co/qAvK7Vc5Pp / #sharks #sciencetwitter #marinebiology - please retweet

At least 17 sevengill #sharks have been killed by infamous #killerwhale pair Port & Starboard this week in South Africa. Only the livers were eaten with the leftover carcasses washing ashore [1/3] 📸 @MarineDynamics Christine Wessels
