Depending on the mining type there are varying degrees of depth overlap between impacts and species depth ranges. We highlight four recommendations including limiting discharge plumes to below 2,000 meters to limit overlap with sharks and rays.

Despite lots of work already being done, these aspects (movement, trophic interactions, and demographics) are often studied in isolation. But they are each a piece of the puzzle. Often times there are taxonomic biases in research. This doesn't even cover the rays! @natklinard.bsky.social

Sharks and rays can play many ecological roles (predators, prey, vectors, etc). The functional roles of individuals scale up depending on the ecological context. And there are many questions to consider @natklinard.bsky.social @johnwayne5.bsky.social

Right there with ya bud!

One of life's little pleasures!

Wait Charlie is an author on both papers. How does that work?😂 I think we need him to pick a side...

And the question should determine the method you are using! Whenever a student asks for analytical advice my first prompt is "what is your question?" Otherwise I cannot assess if your method are appropriate! from our SFU E2O statsbeerz days

This is a fantastic paper and has one of the best closing paragraphs of all time!

Checks out!
