#UNOC3 #SavetheOcean

Prior to #UNOC3 we organised the #MPAConnect conference in the Canary Islands. We brought together key actors from all sectors working on MPAs in the Macaronesia and beyond, to exchange experiences, lessons learned and define priorities for this region.

#UNOC3 highlights this week

🫧This week was a great opportunity to connect, network and witness several commitments from governments and coalitions towards achieving ambitious targets.
I’m proud to see #angelsharks as a species highlighted on various occasions!

Was it worth the trip? Absolutely!

Last week, we survey the largest angelshark nursery, Las Teresitas, thanks to Fundación Santa Cruz Sostenible & Cepsa🦈

Recaptured a few pups, showing they stay for over a year.

Las Teresitas offers shelter & food!

Just wrapped up a field campaign in the south of Lanzarote with Rubicon Diving, acoustically tagging angelsharks!

📡 This research will help us better understand how angelshark populations use the Lobos corridor and contribute to their conservation

#Angelshark #MarineConservation

Feeding sharks ‘junk food’ takes a toll on their health Many blacktip reef sharks in French Polynesia are commonly fed by tourists. But the low-quality diet is changing the sharks’ behavior and physiology.

We teamed up with Sea The Future to fundraise for our Angelshark monitoring and stakeholder campaigns in the Canary Islands!

Distinct management units for the Critically Endangered angelshark (Squatina squatina) revealed in the Canary Islands - Conservation Genetics The angelshark, Squatina squatina, is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, and remaining populations are highly fragmented throughout its historical distribution...

Well this explains why Angel sharks are one of the most threatened shark species: genetics show very isolated populations despite neighbouring islands, with deep oceans likely acting as barriers to gene transfer. Means protecting just one population won't work

Bluesky is now open. Science Twitter, here’s how to use it! The once-great science twitter is, depending on who you talk to, either dying or dead. Once a vibrant place for many discussions related to my fields of marine biology, ocean conservation, and publ…

Friends, I wrote up a quick guide to getting started on Bluesky for folks who are used to old Science Twitter.

Please share it with your folks who are joining. And please let me know if I missed anything or got anything wrong. 🧪
