The ladies of #ExpeditionDamselfish are back together for a summer of fieldwork in SF Bay. We are switching gears to work on Meghan Holst research now, and it feels so good to being doing awesome science with an incredible leader! #FieldBuddies4Life
1st up: Sharks Aren’t Infesting San Francisco Bay, But They Do Live Here! by Meghan Holst no shark infested waters to see here! come learn about how our bay sharks are just living their lives & using the bay as their pupping grounds, year round.
Loved this Meghan Holst talk at Nerd Nite SF ! Sevengill shark pups are the cuuuutest and each has its own unique spot pattern
Last night Meghan Holst asked the audience to weigh in on #bestshark so here is my humble contribution
Just caught and released this shovelnose guitarfish off #SanDiego They are so beautifully weird! Point Loma Nazarene University Scripps Institution of Oceanography #sharkscience #sharkweek #flatsharkfriday
Here, 180 leopard #sharks have been tracked using #computervision from #drone footage captured off #SanDiego (that's a harbor seal that spooks a few of the sharks). Next three tweets show tracking results. Point Loma Nazarene University Scripps Institution of Oceanography #sharkscience #SharkWeek #Tech4Wildlife (1/4)
This stunning, extra spotty leopard #shark was seen off #LaJolla Shores Beach this weekend. This unusual color morph deviates from the typical pattern of horizontal saddles with spots.

This was yesterday off #LaJolla, the morning after the remnants of #HuricaneHilary passed through #SanDiego. Clearly, the leopard #sharks were unfazed and the water was surprisingly clear. See the white flashes? Those are sharks rolling over! Point Loma Nazarene University Scripps Institution of Oceanography #sharkscience
Can’t make the event but still want to make an impact?? Buy some merch to help support Pridelines
It was wonderful to have Reuters join me and feature my #shark research!! UC Davis Center for Watershed Sciences UC Davis Graduate Studies UC Davis
