🌊 Because canyoned continental margins like those in the Gulf of Lion trap microplastics.
Submarine canyons, storms, river runoff and dense shelf water cascading funnel plastic particles down to the seafloor… right where these sharks live and feed.

📊 Over 80% of the specimens had ingested microplastics — mostly PET and cellophane fibres, the kind found in countless everyday products.
Even more than in sharks from other Mediterranean areas like the Tyrrhenian, Ligurian or Balearic seas. Why?

🦈 Sharks deep-dining... with a side of plastic
Yes. We’ve just published a new study in @elsevierconnect.bsky.social- MER showing the presence of microplastics in the digestive tract of the blackmouth catshark (Galeus melastomus), a deep-living species from the Gulf of Lion (NW Mediterranean).

You can call it a scavenger of the deep... but the circles at the corners of its mouth tell another story....🦑

No he trobat cap notícia sobre el tauró #pelegrí de #PortDeLSelva que parli de:
- La mort d'una femella adulta.
- D'una espècie protegida.
- S’hauria d'abordar la temàtica de la captura 'accidental'?
Només s'ha transmès el missatge senzill: “era molt gros, no menja nens i nenes."

To set up a protocol for the release of accidentally captured bluntnose sixgill sharks 🦈…. the key is to listen and learn from the experts.
A huge thank you for your time and knowledge, skippers!

Over the past few days together with @owenwangensteen.bsky.social and @riikkapd.bsky.social we have been collaboraring to design the theoretical and practical structure of the course.Yesterday,we visited Cap de Creus Natural Park to plan logistics where fieldwork and underwater teaching will be held
