New paper lead by Alison Towner documents how killer whales likely caused white sharks to leave a South African aggregation site, and some of the subsequent impacts.

Its official: Clownfish 1 : Shark 0.
We caught clownfish mobbing (tail biting) a passing blacktip reef shark on video in our short paper out today by @jules_schligler @r_beldade & Agathe Blandin @criobe_pf @EPHE_PSL Enjoy the video!

Now it is time for #sharks and #rays at #CMSCOP13!
Sharks and rays are caught in high numbers as #bycatch. Significant additional efforts are needed to reduce bycatch and to improve the conservation status of these species!

#bigdata brought to bear on critical conservation question. If we have to use #mpas how big should they be for wide ranging reef sharks?#sharkraympa led by @SharkColin @MichelleHeupel
How big do #MPAs need to be, to be effective for the majority of reef #sharks? The answer is: 5X bigger than the current average. A new study funded by SCF models show how to make shark protected areas work better. Blog here: bit.ly/2TLRnwC
Thrilled that our 2nd paper in as many months will be out soon! A huge thanks to all our interns for making the #WalkerBay sampling possible & to @WWFSouthAfrica for funding the #MPA component & @moving_sushi for the jawsome collaboration!
Just in: paper by @gjosgood, @baumlab & I on using #sharks as ☂️ spp to conserve #biodiversity in #southafrica has been accepted! Our 2nd paper from a fantastic, collaborative #BRUV study. Special thanks to @WWFSouthAfrica, @moving_sushi, @OfficialSASC team & Kogelberg fishers

Our new paper in PNAS is out! Thanks to @hilbornr for his years of leadership on this massive effort, and to @TrevorABranch Coilin Minto, Ana Parma, Mike Melnychuk, and so many other wonderful colleagues on this team effort. pnas.org/content/early/2020/…
In ocean regions that are intensively managed, fisheries are recovering and harvest rates going down: one key result from a milestone fisheries paper out today, led by @hilbornr (incl. me!)

So proud of our most recent paper, which has been the result of fantastic multifaceted collaboration! @WWFSouthAfrica @moving_sushi

Today we say "Cheers" to Founding Director Meag. She's moving to Canada to work in Marine Protected Areas where she will facilitate research on Southern Resident Killer Whales & other fabulous marine animals of the Canadian Pacific coast. An exciting new chapter for all of us

We now have the longest standing independent database on endemic sharks, have co-authored numerous scientific papers & have trained several hundred early career scientists. We also proudly boast the most comprehensive marine ecology monitoring datasets in the #CapeWhaleCoast
