🪸Corals build the reef
🐠The reef shelters fish
🐟Fish are prey for sharks
🦈Sharks balance the oceans
🌎And our oceans? Oceans support all life on Earth!
It's all connected, all balanced and our collaborative work aims to support that balance🩵🦈
This #WorldWildlifeDay2025 we are joining the United Nations to raise awareness of this year's theme: Wildlife Conservation Finance, Investing in People and Planet!
It is our collective responsibility to invest in our wildlife…

Mobilising the funds required to fill conservation gaps at scale requires a multi-stakeholder approach that involves financial institutions, governments, businesses, and local communities.
Help us and our collaborative #research to support the #conservation of marine megafauna and safeguard sustainably managed marine ecosystems. 🦈
It’s blue (shark) Monday!💙🦈
While we may be feeling blue today, let’s take a moment out in nature to connect with our ocean.
Let’s embrace the blues to inspire change and brighter actions for ocean conservation.

From CATS Cam tags (pictured here), acoustic and satellite tags, to BRUVs, stereo-video photogrammetry, DNA analysis and social science, our minimally invasive methods are driving #conservation efforts by unlocking critical insights into the lives of threatened #elasmobranchs
We are excited for the year ahead and look forward to you joining us and our amazing #collaborators all over the world, for another year of marine megafauna-filled research in 2025!
Stay tuned for more 👀

A collaborative study by Marcoux et al (2023) used photo-ID to study the demographics and movement patterns of previously understudied whale sharks in Hawai'i.
As the #blueshark (Prionace glauca) season draws to an end here in the UK, we look back on another successful year of #research in #collaboration with blue shark swim-with operators in the UK.

Under a high-emissions scenario, whale sharks may be up to 15,000 times more likely to collide with a shipping vessel by the end of the century!
