I don’t mind giving free talks/courses AT ALL, especially for undergrad students. But after 6 yrs in undergrad, 2.5 in a master’s, and years of lab + fieldwork, being asked to train staff for free by a rich company charging R$100 per ticket is a complete disrespect to my work.

Yesterday, I taught a class at the Specialized Professional Fisher course, a partnership between the Brazilian Navy and IFSC Itajaí, sharing insights on Brazil’s fisheries laws, shark & ray ID, and safe handling + release. Part of the Project PESCA’s activities supported by the MCAF Fellowship. 🦈

Can fishers be conservationists?
In Nigeria, they’re proving they can. Through education, community actions, and sustainable alternatives, fishers are becoming key allies in protecting sharks.

Dear fish friends, which scientific journals do you recommend for a short communication to publish about new records of a species of fish in a region where they have never been seen before? 🐟🔍👀 I have a few names in mind, but suggestions are always welcome. Thanks! 🙏 ✨

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.
“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

My 2024 started in the US. On Jan. 2nd I came to attend my 2nd conference here. Now, Dec. 31st, I just landed in Atlanta to attend my 4th conference. Not even in my wildest and most ambitious dreams did I think that one day I was going to experience something like this.

Yesterday was another successful day working w/ artisanal fishers of Balneário Camboriú’s Central beach, here in southern Brazil 🇧🇷 14 cownose rays (Rhinoptera spp.) came in this beach seine operation, and all of them were quickly released! #iconicoceans @MISS_Elasmo

Today a cownose ray (Rhinoptera bonasus) washed up dead on our Central beach. Luckily and, thanks to my DVM friend, I managed to get it before the authorities threw the animal in the trash. I’ll collect as much data and samples as possible so that this life wasn’t lost in vain.

Fishing began as a hobby between me and my father. Nowadays, fisheries is part of my job. Through this activity, I’ve met so many special people and lived unforgettable moments. I’m so grateful to all the fishers who trust me and my work. Happy #WorldFisheriesDay 🐟
