I somehow accidentally got a not-so-boring image of the most boring shark in the world: the sandbar shark. 🦈 🐟

One of the more poignant and under appreciated moments in Jaws is when the privileged politician finally decides to do the right thing because he was suddenly personally affected. #Jaws50

A feisty sand tiger shark about to be tagged and released by the #SOFOsharks team off New York! Just one of 5 different species already tagged this season. 🦈 🦑

Taking my kids swimming with feeding whale sharks last week was definitely a top Proud Dad moment. The conditions off Isla Mujeres, Mexico were excellent. Sticking our heads in the sand for a few days was also therapeutic.

This week I was excited to introduce my kids to whale sharks! We visited an aggregation site off Isla Mujeres, Mexico, where we got up close and personal while following responsible guidelines. Hoping this gets them hooked on more shark adventures in the future! #WhaleShark 🦈

I’m excited about this paper for a number of reasons, but a top personal highlight was getting to formally acknowledge my son for helping in the field! #ProudDad

Finally got to see The Shark is Broken! 🦈

So I’ve got that going for me. Which is nice.

I love The Great North. When this character appears does anyone read the hat as “Chief eDNA”?

I was surprised to spot this dusky shark on the wall at the famous Beantown Pub along Boston’s Freedom Trail (the only bar where you can drink a Sam Adams within sight of Sam Adams’ grave)! #SharksNearMe 🦈 🐟

The first ever white shark tag recapture in the Atlantic, as reported in The Fisherman magazine c. 1984. The NMFS Cooperative Shark Tagging Program has been running for over 50 years! @shellspc.bsky.social

With everything going on, I’m trying to diversify my investments (aka “retail therapy”). In this case, I invested in a not-huge, but really beautiful megalodon tooth. #TreatYoSelf

Has anyone seen the official Federal employee rights and labor relations website lately? Asking for a friend.

Thanks to @drpetrone.bsky.social and everyone at Eastern New Mexico University for hosting Brad Peterson, Greg Metzger, and I this week! Even in the high plains, students are fascinated by sharks. It was wonderful to engage with this community. 🦈 #SOFOsharks

We either need to get out our brooms, or buy CNN a thesaurus.
