SCIENCE ALERT: First study into the diving behavior of #marlin in the Indian Ocean — highlights that these species have differences in their behavior, which allow them to both be successful, even when sharing the same habitat. Lead author: @CARohner marinemegafauna.org/news-and…

Our new paper from Tanzania highlights the importance of long-term monitoring of whale sharks to detect population trends. Considering that it takes so long, precautionary management is necessary to save these ocean giants from extinction.

New shark science alert! We found that whale sharks in Tanzania often use the same bay for months, or even years, at a time. They *love* a staycation. (More below.) frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

Highly exciting – our manta & whale shark conservation work in Mozambique has been short-listed for a €30,000 grant! Last hurdle is to show public support, through a voting system. Just a click required. Link is here if you've got a few seconds: outdoorconservation.eu/proje… Thanks :)

Interested in shark science, and whale sharks in particular? We've written up a summary of our whale shark research and conservation work at @MarineMegafauna in 2017. Cameo appearances by sea turtles and mobula rays too :). Download our pdf report here: dropbox.com/s/g6gmqaz8dhzfdd…

New paper! Whale sharks really like Mozambique. We counted up to 51 sharks feeding together, & tagged 15 juveniles, which preferred highly productive coastal waters. Unfortunately, increasing gill net use puts the population at risk. Full paper: peerj.com/articles/4161/

Satellite-tagged whale sharks in Mozambique spent a lot of time in shallow, cool, chlorophyll-rich waters along the coast, where they are also at elevated risk from gillnets. Read our latest paper: peerj.com/articles/4161/
