Unintended consequences of OHS interventions for fishers driven by wider social and structural determinants of health. Solutions include co-design and coordination to combat 'regulatory overload'. New paper out this week... doi.org/10.1111/faf.12857 @ExeterMarine @UniofExeterESI

After a slow start to the day, we successfully tagged 4 female tope sharks.
Looking forward to seeing what these amazing animals get up to over the next year.
Back in a couple of weeks to hopefully tag some more!

“Sitting on the top of a dormant volcano my phone started to buzz. I studied the images coming through in disbelief. Was this a hoax?”
ZSL’s @DavidCurnick couldn’t believe it when a shark species never seen before in the UK stranded in the Isle of Wight

Over the span of just 6 weeks, three sharks appeared in UK and Irish waters that had never before been seen this far north
ZSL’s @DavidCurnick spoke with @mel_pud for @thetimes about unravelling the mystery of why they ventured into new waters
