And that’s a wrap! After 6 La Graciosa field campaigns, more than 80 dives, & 43 #sharks tagged, #PhD data collection is finally complete! 🇪🇸🦈🤿🚤 I was hoping to make it from 0 to 100 dives but fell just short due to the worst timed ear injury ever 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️ 💙💛✌️

A highlight of #BES2022 @BritishEcolSoc for me was finding the #SEEDNetwork (Socioeconomic Equality & Diversity) Network. @Joshua_AJones thank you so much for setting this up & giving us a space to discuss something that can feel uncomfortable to open up about in this field 👏👏
