🐋 Whales 🦈 Sharks 🐦 Seabirds 🐠 And so more species travel far across the ocean—knowing where they go can help countries collaborate on their protection. New research from 350+ scientists can help guide how we work together. pewtrsts.org/48yDQxV

Collaborative Science Is Key to Conserving Highly Mobile Marine Species

Research from Pew marine fellows is a critical resource for helping to protect large ocean species and can offer invaluable input as a network of high seas marine protected areas (MPAs) nears reality.

📢 New study by #OceanDecade Action @MegaMove_Org found that: 🦈 Marine megafauna spends 90% of their time in areas identified as "Important Marine Megafauna Areas" 🚨But only 5% of these areas currently fall within marine protected areas Read more: ow.ly/VOqM50Wuupt

My take on the role of Portugal in the forthcoming UN oceans conference. Born in Lisbon, the conference brings me back home after 40 years of marine research. Na Conferência do Oceano das Nações Unidas vamos retribuir o que o oceano nos deu publico.pt/2022/06/20/azul/o…

This wk's @PNASNews paper on whale #shark collision risk from #shipping was the work of 69 scientists in 44 institutes across 18 countries - led by the brilliant @FreyaWomersley (see photo!) as part of #GlobalSharkMovementProject - amazing collaboration pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.21…

The population of the largest fish in the world, the Whale Shark, is rapidly declining In this @PNASNews paper we identify collisions with ships as a major driver of whale shark mortality Red the paper here 👇 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.21… @TheSimsLab @KAUST_News

I've always been fascinated about #marine creatures & the ocean #sunfish has always been near the top of my list. Here is a link to a short #review of a fantastic 📘on the subject (Eds: @tierneythys @PelagicLabQUB &GraemeHays) sequeiralab.com/2022/03/25/o… @uwaoceans @AmFisheriesSoc

I was interested to learn about the importance of whale sharks, green turtles, and other marine megafauna and how this research, led by @AnaMMSequeira may be used to guide evidence-based conservation. pew.org/35QJ8r9

Tracking Marine Megafauna Can Guide More Effective Ocean Conservation

Some of the ocean’s best-known creatures are also the most vulnerable to humans’ impact on the environment.
