Mga anak ng pating! 🙌🏽 🦈
Thirty students from Philippine Science High Schools joined our Shark Science class and the Anak ng Pating Youth Forum. They spent the day learning about the biology of sharks and rays (including a dissection session 😱) and what goes on in policy work.

To celebrate #OceanExplorationDay, we sat down with #LAMAVE researcher Titus Cañete to talk about his inspiration for pursuing #deepsea research & the technology he is developing that can help make it more accessible especially for early-career scientists

We celebrated the beginning of 2023 on the beach of San Vicente, Palawan, supporting the incredible work of the local communities patrolling this coastline every night. At 1:30 AM on Jan 1, the first nesting olive ridley in the area emerged. What a great start to a new year!
We are very excited to see @lamaveresearch (LAMAVE) using https://t.co/qzJQSCo2WZ to build collaboration for giant manta research. This press release includes a great infographic summarizing their recently published results.

NEW #SCIENCE ALERT! 🚨 This collaborative study has compiled a national data population database for manta rays and reports the presence of Reef Mantas (Mobula alfredi) and Oceanic Mantas (Mobula birostis) in the Philippines. #sciencetwitter

It has identified four hotspots where 89% of all the individual manta rays aggregated: Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park in Cagayancillo, San Jacinto in the Ticao-Burias Pass Protected Seascape, Puerto Princesa City and Taytay in Palawan. #sciencetwitter#marineconservation#mantarays
The series introduced participants to the role of genetics in marine turtle conservation and management, the technical aspects of genetic research, and examples of how genetics can help combat the illegal wildlife trade of marine turtles.
