In my degree I remember being inspired by projects funded by @saveourseas.bsky.social so its a mini full-circle moment to see myself listed as a project leader (complete with sketch portrait) for them this year! Read about our 2025 small grant here: tinyurl.com/45fj3yj8

A nice mix of female #farmlandbirds during yesterday's ringing session. Cirl bunting (1), stone chat (2), and linnet (3)! #birds @btobirds.bsky.social 🧪

📢 New 🧪 from Project SIARC using eDNA to investigate 🦈 distributions in Wales.
🔍 9 species + Critically Endangered angelshark and tope detected
📅 Detections peaked in spring
🌍 Predicted that animals were within 15 km of sampling locations

Revealing Elasmobranch Distributions in Turbid Coastal Waters: Insights From Environmental DNA and Particle Tracking
Many sharks, rays and skates are highly threatened and vulnerable to overexploitation, as such reliable monitoring of elasmobranchs is key to effective management and conservation. The mobile and elu...

Fascinating to join a #CSIoftheSea with the Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme team on two Angelsharks that were found on a North Wales beach in 2023.
🔎 Samples from the sharks will provide vital data on health, diet, reproductive patterns, and connectivity across the East Atlantic.

Lots of people told me "I can't arrange a whole group, but if you can make it so individuals can get a spot on a shark research trip, I'd love to come!"
Now is your chance! If this works, we'll do it again.

Friends, you asked for it and we made it happen!
I now have (at least) 2 shark research expedition fundraiser charter dates available where you can join us as an individual without you having to arrange a whole group!
Be a marine biologist for a day, and support a great cause! Read on for info!

After a few weeks off, I've returned to the news that 2 of our #tope have been recorded on a telemetry array in South Wales/England! Fantastic to get 1st detections of our animals and insight into #connectivity between MPA's in Wales + England. Where will our sharks go next? #ProjectSIARC #ZSL

My day job is more fish orientated! I'm leading research for #ProjectSIARC, the
#OceanPredatorLab, and #ZSL to investigate movements of Critically Endangered tope (soupfin) sharks in North Wales, UK - a seasonal hot-spot! 🧪🐟🦈🐙
