For the past weeks, whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) have been gathering south of Pico Island, feeding on large schools of Macroramphosus scolopax. Our team has taken this opportunity to investigate the quantities of #Plastic within those feeding aggregations! 🐋🐟🗑

We are back at sea with the #AzorDriftCam to continue mapping the biodiversity and environmental status of the Azores #deepsea. This year's #MapGES_2022 survey has already unveiled some diverse spots with octocorals and sponges close to São Jorge island

Excellent! We tested a biologging tag developed within @intertagua project in the IPOCAMP hyperbaric facility run by IMAR and @OkeanosUac. The tag passed all tests with flying (well, diving) colours. Watch the video and visit intertagua.eu to know more. @AzWhaleLab

One of our tagged #seiwhales has now travelled 950km east of the #Falklands towards #SouthGeorgia!🐋The other whale, tagged on the same day, has remained within a few kms around Berkeley Sound. You can see their latest locations at: falklandsconservation.com/se… With @Darwin_Defra

News from the Falklands: the cooperation between @AzWhaleLab & @FI_Conservation for sei whale sat-tag is starting to bear fruits. Two whales tagged in the same day and place are doing totally different things... so much to learn! Follow the live tracks at falklandsconservation.com/se…
