The shark’s out of the bag! 🦈 We’ve been dying to tell you about the findings that came out of our recent expedition to the Cayman Island, including our history-making sighting of a Kitefin shark in Caribbean waters! Watch now to see this elusive luminous vertebrate in action.

VickyShark🦈 Oh hey, we saw a rough shark on the Schmidt Ocean dive yesterday and one today during the current expedition in the Galapagos! #CliffReefs

Such sad news - John was a great voice in the community & he will be missed. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Deepwater sharks and rays make up half the global shark and ray diversity but have been largely left in the dark for shark and ray conservation. #SharksintheDark #GlobalSharkTrends bit.ly/SharksInTheDark science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

#PressRelease: Protecting 30% of the deep ocean would provide 80% of deepwater sharks and rays with refuge from human activities. Spatial protection in the High Seas is important for Date Deficient species. #SharksintheDark #GlobalSharkTrends #30x30 bit.ly/SharksInTheDark

A global fishing prohibition below 800 m would provide 30% vertical refuge for 30% of threatened deepwater sharks and rays. #SharksintheDark #GlobalSharkTrends #OceanOptimism bit.ly/SharksInTheDark science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our new paper is out today in #Science and lead author Brit Finucci has a great thread highlighting our findings and how overfishing is driving extinction risk for #deepwater #sharks. #GlobalSharkTrends #SharksintheDark
