Excited to announce that our paper (and my first first author paper) is out now! We found that leatherback sea turtles will dive faster to forage longer 🐢 Major thanks to my co authors and top notch supervisors @tomkdoyle @Ash_w_b and Mike James https://t.co/HGvTf4BR8n

Check out the research I do as part of the Marine Ecology Group here in UCC and how it can contribute to conserving our Irish seabird populations! Thank you to @RTEBrainstorm for featuring my piece on the complexity surrounding biodiversity and growing ORE production

Thrilled to be a part of this paper! Check it out 🧬🐋

Humans are now using 1/3 of all vertebrates on Earth - almost 15,000 species. This makes us consume up to 300 times more prey items than other comparable carnivore. First study of its kind estimates ecological effects of 'super-predation' @ChrisDarimont https://t.co/k2kfzNlBNR

Baby announcement! The Center for Whale Research announced the baby #orca, saying they had received photos showing what appears to be a new calf in L pod, part of the population known as Southern Resident killer #whales, near Tofino on Vancouver Island.

Meanwhile in Australia the “SharkNets” continue to keep beaches “safe” by indiscriminately entangling & killing whatever swims by while simultaneously “chumming” the coastlines daily with freshly caught “sharkbait”… Video by Tomy lhs …

A commercial scuba diver has received the highest fine to date under the Fisheries Act Marine Mammal Regulations, for knowingly interacting with a pod of Northern Resident killer #whales near Prince Rupert, BC. https://t.co/XYBjVhqx4J

We can always use more shark content!
