Sharks are a critical keystone species, maintaining the balance of life in the sea and keeping habitats healthy. However, populations have declined by 70% in the last 50 years.

Meet the incredible #SharkChampions working to change that 🌊🦈👉 https://t.co/OTAC9eXUcA

📢I am very excited to finally share what feels like the most important paper of my career so far - the world's first randomized controlled trial of #marine #conservation incentives - out now in @ScienceMagazine's Science Advances: https://t.co/X4xar1pxy3

Super PhD opportunity with funding for either a UK or an overseas student, on the impact of governance and management structures on #conservation and community outcomes in #Cameroon. There must be some amazing applicants out there, please spread the word! https://t.co/RZvbXh5Nbp

Shark harvests in Goa and Kakinada are driven mainly by supply-side factors although there is rising consumer demand, a study has reported. Despite the national ban, shark fin export continues.

@NickDulvy A bamboo shark, they're commonly caught and consumed in this region! This was most likely a grey bamboo shark (Chiloscyllium griseum) but it was difficult to confirm since it was a juvenile.

How do market dynamics affect the #sustainability of #shark trade? 🦈

Excited to share our new paper on shark trade in India with @EJMilnerGulland, @hollieboothie, @r_oyanedel & Divya Karnad

Our study demonstrates the importance of interdisciplinary research on market dynamics and trade actors for #conservation.

Feel free to ask questions or leave comments :)

[Trisha Gupta @Trisha_0405]

Based on our data, we identified important leverage points within the supply chains, & outlined potential #interventions - from enhancing fisher access to increasing supply chain #traceability - to improve the sustainability and socio-economic outcomes of shark trade.

Global shark and ray populations are plummeting. Marine conservationist Trisha Gupta (@Trisha_0405) has been working with fishing communities in India – one of the world's top shark and ray harvesting nations – to bring about positive change.🦈

Using the proposed 880 MW solar park in Spiti, Himachal Pradesh, as a case study, a recent paper highlights the importance of aligning green energy with biodiversity conservation goals.

It's such a privilege to supervise PhD students, and it's been a great couple of weeks, with three @ICCS_updates students passing their vivas... @Trisha_0405 did a brilliant thesis on shark and ray conservation in India, @ShuoGao_ on ecological compensation in China

[Oxford Biology @OxfordBiology]

Congrats to @LeyMandoloma, who has won Outstanding ED&I Champion in the @mplsoxford ED&I awards in the student category!

We caught up with Lessah to hear more about her experiences with @ICCS_updates, @Africa_Oxford, and beyond 👇

Very grateful to the Levine Family Foundation for supporting my PhD with @ICCS_updates @EJMilnerGulland @OxfordBiology

[Oxford Giving @OxfordGiving]

Sharks are older than the dinosaurs and yet their populations – and those of their close relatives, rays – are in rapid decline.

Marine conservationist and Oxford DPhil student Trisha Gupta (@Trisha_0405) is taking action to protect them.
