📢 @ec.europa.eu study confirms that 🇪🇺 fishing companies flag their vessels to countries that allow opaque ownership structures.
This can fuel illegal fishing, erode human rights and threaten fisheries sustainability and coastal livelihoods.

Our new paper on Amazon river dolphins is out! 🐬🌴
We used satellite telemetry and isotopic analysis to reveal what they eat in different areas of the Peruvian Amazon, a key step towards better understanding their ecology and supporting their conservation.

How can we bring (and keep) #fishers onboard #sustainability initiatives? 🐟
A new briefing from Clean Catch – produced with the support of our partner Mindfully Wired – answers this question with guidance for anyone seeking to engage members of the #fishing industry. [1/3]
📢 New resource alert – the CIBBRiNA version of the Clean Catch Wildlife ID Guide! 🐬 🦭 🦈
The identification by #fishers of the species they accidentally capture at sea is an important part of efforts to improve #bycatch monitoring & inform #sustainable #fisheries management. [1/5]
🐬 Pink dolphins, 🦦 giant otters, parasites, bioacoustics & more!

Effect of oceanic conditions on humpback whale behaviour modelled. During migration whales engage in feeding & rely on environmental cues & memory of conditions to start migration to arrive at krill bloom. Unclear if whales will succeed tracking prey in changing climate doi.org/10.1038/s415... 🦑🐋🧪🌍

'five types of plastics were identified: pellets, foam, fragments, sheet and threads' a close-up image of microplastics on a cloth is in a circle in the centre of the page. 'The highest proportion of contamination was found in the mediterranean (80%).'
New collaborative study finds 45% of sampled marine turtle nesting beaches worldwide are contaminated by microplastics.

Excited to have contributed to this study where we tracked 29 sperm whales in the North Atlantic! 🐳
Some traveled nearly 8000km and dove deeper then 1000m! 🛰️🌊 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
This is one of my favorite photos taken during this fieldwork of a 🐳 diving under the midnight sun 🌞
"His job was to make wildlife monitoring at the National Park Service faster and cheaper-so getting dismissed for 'government efficiency' was a bitter irony."
Please read my friend Greg's story and share it where you can.
Fascinating new paper out in @nature.com on the importance of Small Scale Fisheries. Lots of great information on catch, nutrition, livelihoods, etc. The #sharkscience factoid I found was that only 0.2% of the SSF catch is sharks, rays or chimaerans.
