New paper published!

We looked into how and why manta rays move their cephalic lobes during social interactions!

Lots of flicks and tip curls!

HUGE WIN: After 20 years of research and lobbying, we're thrilled to announce a major legislative victory for #oceanlife in #Mozambique - a new law today enacts sweeping protections for several threatened species, including #whalesharks & #mantarays

With concern for Endangered Shortfin Mako Sharks, I urge @NOAAFisheries to get on board with efforts to protect the declining North Atlantic population. Please 🇺🇸: Support the ICCAT ban that scientists & 16 other countries advise! #MakeOrBreak4Makos

On ten separate occasions, I was fortunate enough to live underwater. Spending so much time underwater led to a breakthrough: I got to know fish as individuals. They do not behave the same. They each have their own attitude.

📢RARE FOOTAGE OF A MANTA MATING EVENT ‼️

Look at how the male bites the female's left pectoral fin.

Fun fact : Males almost always choose the left pectoral fin ! With mating scars left, we then know about the maturity of female Manta rays. 😉

PLEASE VOTE AND RETWEET! Our lead genetics researcher has the chance to have the entire manta genome sequenced using PacBio sequencing technology!

This #EarthDay, let’s resolve to protect the high seas—so they can continue protecting the planet against the effects of climate change. 🌍🌊

The high seas remove *at least* $74 billion worth of carbon from our atmosphere annually.
