Analysing #BRUV footage from inside and outside of Ulva Island #MarineReserve in April. So far, I've counted 8 individual #sharks. In this footage, you can see the white spots or constellations which are unique to each individual. Fiordland footage next...exciting times

@rosadelaware8 you know this far too well 😄

[Michael Heldsinger @MichaelHeldsing]

We all know that feeling of too much fieldwork blended in with a bit of motion sickness? 😆 😴 🤢 #AMSA21 #AMSAconf "tell us you're a marine scientist without telling us you're a marine scientist!"

[AMSA-NSMSS 2024 Conference @AMSAconf]

Any shark researchers, specifically of hammerheads (sp: Sphyrna mokarran) interested in some samples from Exmouth? I have a contact who found an adult specimen intact on the beach. TIA
