@JenaEdwards16 talks to us about efforts to track Greenland sharks and how this can inform more effective management. #Sharks2018

The deep sea is the final frontier for exploration and animal tracking. Find out how researchers can continue to uncover the mysteries of animal movement in the deep sea in our new review published in DSR1! Thanks for the tweet @SharkMourier! -Nigel Hussey, Ocean Tracking Network

It's a new year so we're bringing you a new #MolluskMonday #momentofzen with #BabyYoda's deep-sea twin. #yourewelcome This juvenile octopus belongs to an order of animals called Cirrata, named for the presence of hair-like structures called 'cirri' on their arms.

This boat dog has it figured out.

I've encountered sea potatoes like these on board a ship, but could never imagine what they must look like in nature. Ocean aliens never cease to amaze me.

Getting outside to watch and listen to our local wildlife (yes, even in the city!) has helped me a lot over the past few weeks. While I would recommend this to everyone, for those who can't get out to experience nature, Cornell has got you covered! allaboutbirds.org/news/how-to-ma…

For anyone interested in hearing more about my Master's research on the movement of Greenland sharks and seeing some icy pics from the field, check out this article released today by Arctic Focus! arcticfocus.org/stories/valuab…

Just what I never knew I needed 🦑

New paper out today in Science Advances! 🥳advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/12/e… We measured state-dependent risk-taking in elephant seals throughout their 7-month migrations. Skinny seals take more risks. This breath-taking animation by co-author Jessica Kendall-Bar tells the whole story.

Our fieldwork has begun! 27 receivers deployed and 20 fish tagged.🐟Check out this summary of our efforts to establish an acoustic telemetry study to monitor fish movements in the Dutch Wadden Sea (article in Dutch). 🦈 @NIOZnieuws WUR Marine Rijkswaterstaat Noord-Nederland wur.nl/nl/Onderzoek-R…

SWIMWAY NEWS: Our first fish are off and swimming! 17 acoustic-tagged European sea bass and 10 thick-lipped grey mullet are transmitting data to receivers in the Dutch Wadden Sea Array. Check out this video of the moment when we release tagged fish back into the sea! 🐟🐟🐟

Searching for grey mullet on the Wadden Sea has been more challenging than any of us anticipated. With one week of commercial fishing under our belt, we are ready to pull on our waders and see what we can find. Wish us luck!! 🐟🎣🐟 instagram.com/p/CQGVNk8n6GS/…

This week my PhD research featured in an enlightnening story on the future of fisheries from the Dutch TV series VPRO Tegenlicht. To hear how we track fish in the Wadden Sea and to see beautiful footage of our tagging process, check out my part (in English) starting at 25:05 🎣

What a privilege to be featured alongside so many other awesome early career researchers in CBC's new Coastlines series! 🍁🌊🦈 cbc.ca/news/canada/no…

Cool new research by @maryannswatson monitoring the aquatic inhabitants of artificial reefs in the Dutch Wadden Sea. Check out swimway.nl/nieuws/ for more!

Did you detect fish across the border? 🧐😮 We're looking for cool examples of #transboundary movements in Europe! 🐟🦈 Get in touch with Jena Edwards or @d_abecasis for more details & to collaborate with us! #trackingnotslacking 📸: Kim Birnie-Gauvin, Ph.D
