Researchers with @PlymUni are warning that #climatechange, rising temperatures and shifting ocean chemistry are threatening species like the critically endangered whitefin swellshark. If changes aren’t made, the species could become extinct. bit.ly/3EOtJJw

Scientists call for efforts to protect habitats of critically endangered shark species

A critically endangered species of shark could be forced to adapt to new habitats—or face extinction—as a result of changes in the ocean predicted to occur as a result of climate change, a new study...

The Indonesian government granted 6 species of threatened “walking sharks” the highest level of protection across all national waters — a move experts hope will lead to the conservation of other sharks. conservation.org/blog/indone…

Plus what I believe is a Thornback Ray (Raja clavata) egg case! #PlymMBIO #GreatEggcaseHunt #MBIO

Might not be in Sweden right now but I have really enjoyed my alternative, learning how to use #BIIGLE to analyse stills taken from ROV footage 🪸🐠. Even more exciting to spot some Chimaeras, a close relative to sharks, yay! Thanks @DeepSeaEcol for all the help. @PlymUni #MBIO

Scientists partnered with tiger sharks to map seagrass—the unsung hero of ocean conservation. Listen to this episode of "Science, Quickly" to learn more. 🎧 bit.ly/3FbZHwr 🦈 @beneaththewaves

Last day of boat week. One of the specimens we identified from our grab samples was a trumpet worm (Lagis koreni). These worms use tiny grains of sand and shell fragments to skilfully build these amazing intricate tubes @PlymUni #MarineBiology #PlymMBIO #MBO #OceanScience #Marine

Replying to @DrNeilHammer
The first of its kind, the BATs successfully documented the location and timing of birth in these wild sharks. This new tech will be especially valuable for threatened and endangered shark species, where protection of pupping and nursery grounds are a conservation priority.

Day 3 of boat week. Spent the morning on @RVFalconSpirit using the ROV. Safe to say I need to practice my ROV “driving” skills but I did manage to find a spider crab (Maja brachydactyla) 🦀 @PlymUni @oceansciencetec #plyMBIO #MBO #MarineBiology #MarineScience #ROV #Oceanography – at Plymouth, England
