BREAKING: The Biden administration has restored rules to protect imperiled plants and animals that had been rolled back under former President Donald Trump. apnews.com/article/biden-…

Let’s welcome our newest duo at the Misool Foundation nursery - Katrine & Claudio! 👫 These two sharks are named in honor of Katrine Bosley & Claudio Segré, both of whom have been foundational supporters of ReShark from the beginning. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to them! 🩵
POV: Witnessing a zebra shark pup wild foraging for the FIRST TIME! 😋 Here’s Marshal in the sea pen having dug up clams & foraged for snails all by herself - a testament to the sea pen’s role in allowing the juvenile sharks to adapt to the wild before their release. 🍴🐌🐚
Notre nouvelle étude sur les #SharksintheDark publiée dans @ScienceMagazine révèle une augmentation de l'impact humain sur les requins et les raies des profondeurs. #GlobalSharkTrends bit.ly/SharksInTheDark science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
#SharksintheDark make the cover of @ScienceMagazine! Check out our new paper led by @BritFinucci, overfishing is the primary threat to deepwater sharks and rays. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @SharkRayFund
#Bestshark makes the cover of @ScienceMagazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Our new research, led by @BritFinucci and funded by @SharkRayFund, reveals that unmanaged target and bycatch #fisheries leave 1 in 7 deepwater sharks and rays at risk of extinction. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
#SharksintheDark: Increased use and trade in deepwater sharks and rays needs to be closely monitored and managed to avoid increasing extinction risk. #ElevatetheSkate #GlobalSharkTrends bit.ly/SharksInTheDark science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
To conserve deepwater sharks and rays, we need: 👉 To protect important areas 👉 National-level fisheries regulations 👉 Introduce trade controls #SharksintheDark #GlobalSharkTrends #OceanOptimism bit.ly/SharksInTheDark science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
A global fishing prohibition below 800 m would provide 30% vertical refuge for 30% of threatened deepwater sharks and rays. #SharksintheDark #GlobalSharkTrends #OceanOptimism bit.ly/SharksInTheDark science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
#PressRelease: Protecting 30% of the deep ocean would provide 80% of deepwater sharks and rays with refuge from human activities. Spatial protection in the High Seas is important for Date Deficient species. #SharksintheDark #GlobalSharkTrends #30x30 bit.ly/SharksInTheDark
#ElevatetheSkate: Increased demand for skate meat has incentivized skate retention around the world, particularly for the fermented skate meat (hongeo-hoe) markets. #SharksintheDark #GlobalSharkTrends bit.ly/SharksInTheDark science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
#SharksintheDark: Liver oil trade is driving deepwater shark retention. Sharks have been used for their liver oil for centuries, but globalized expansion of trade, diversification of use is a relatively new phenomenon. #GlobalSharkTrends #Overfishing bit.ly/SharksInTheDark
#PressRelease: Targeted deepwater shark liver oil fisheries are not sustainable. These fisheries have resulted in steep deepwater shark population declines and elevated extinction risk. #SharksintheDark #GlobalSharkTrends #Overfishing bit.ly/SharksInTheDark
#SharksintheDark: Overfishing is the primary threat to deepwater sharks and rays. Most are caught as incidental capture of non-target species (bycatch). #GlobalSharkTrends bit.ly/SharksInTheDark science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
New analysis on #SharksintheDark funded by @SharkRayFund shows one in seven deepwater sharks and rays are threatened with extinction, more than twice the number reported a decade ago. #GlobalSharkTrends bit.ly/SharksInTheDark science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
#PressRelease: Deepwater sharks are among the most sensitive marine vertebrates to overexploitation. Their biology is similar to formerly exploited, and now highly protected, marine mammals. #SharksintheDark #GlobalSharkTrends bit.ly/SharksInTheDark science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Deepwater sharks and rays make up half the global shark and ray diversity but have been largely left in the dark for shark and ray conservation. #SharksintheDark #GlobalSharkTrends bit.ly/SharksInTheDark science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
