These findings highlight why managing sharks within political borders often misses the bigger picture.
Understanding population structure is key to protecting globally threatened, wide-ranging species.

Do bite-resistant wetsuits actually work? 🦈🩱
New research tested four bite-resistant wetsuit materials against white and tiger shark bites. While they can’t prevent all injuries, they do lower the risk of the dangerous wounds.

Sometimes you stumble on some #sharkscience that makes you think you don't really know anything about them at all. Yesterday i found this paper: "Observations of the bowmouth guitarfish by-catches by the tropical tuna purse seine fleet in the Indian Ocean’s open waters"

paper in Scientific Communications from Dec 2025 revealed that #tigersharks off Maui stayed there all year, but ones tagged off Oahu "migrated seasonally to Maui" around mating season. Aggregation size peaked just before #humpbackwhale birthing

We took advantage of our large gathering of basking shark experts to ask the most pressing question of all: How would you describe a basking shark?

Sharks have been perfecting immunity for 400 million years, long before humans existed.
While our immune systems rely on learned responses, sharks use a powerful innate system that can adapt to new threats instantly. Evolution’s greatest survivors still have lessons to teach us.

We had all the seasons this week for receiver downloading in Tampa Bay, Terra Ceia Bay, and Manatee River. Felt really bad for the divers on the cold days, but we got some exciting new data for our sawfish, shark, and cownose ray tracking studies!

Title page for a research paper published in Marine Biodiversity, describing a field observation of a piebald leucistic smallspotted catshark on a baited remote underwater video station in the UK
A little more #sharkscience from my #PhD at @one-cardiffuni.bsky.social - a Short Communication published in Marine Biodiversity by @springernature.com.
A fortuitous finding from #BRUVS sampling in #CardiganBay Special Area of Conservation in the UK - a #piebald leucistic smallspotted #catshark.
Moments like this remind us why we spend so much time out here: the thrill of discovery, contributing to science, and the chance to see South Africa’s lesser-known species up close.🇿🇦
