Just casually illustrated 1,200 shark, ray and chimaera species for the chondrichthyan tree of life project 🦈 Dr Lindsay Marshall #ASFB2022

Incredible week at Heron Island Research Station in the southern #GBR 🐠💙 We sighted this 3m wide female reef manta and sent images to Project Manta. Asia Armstrong (Haines) told us she was a new individual and #1514 in the database. We named her 'Cali' to commemorate the UC students we taught on the trip.

Population stock estimates for black jewfish in QLD are between 56-70% - one of the few good news stories in QLD fisheries #SamWilliams #ASFB2022

And that’s a wrap! Massive thanks to the #ASFB2022 organisers - what an awesome conference! Here we are getting into the “outrageous aquatic” theme!

So privileged to be part of this study led by Vinay Udyawer

8 billion people. It’s a tough number to wrap our heads around… So here is a comparison for scale: 8 million secs = approx 96 days 8 billion secs = approx 25 years #WorldPopulationClock

In 50 years time will our grandchildren thank us for a few rusty submarines or saving hundreds of species - koala, platypus, black-cockatoos, orchids? Australian spending on defence exceeds the resources needed to secure its dwindling biodiversity more than tenfold.

Turns out this paper was one of the top downloaded for its year 😎 Here it is again for those that missed it the first time around! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

The Important Shark and Ray Areas project has released a regional compendium of Important Shark and Ray Areas in the Central and South American Pacific region- download it free here: doi.org/10.59216/ssg.i…

Meet our team! Ryan Charles 🦈 is a Research Assistant with the Important Shark and Ray Areas project. His favorite thing about working with us is being surrounded by passionate and knowledgeable people every day! Learn more about Ryan on our Facebook page: facebook.com/SharkRayAreas/…

Meet our team! Asia Armstrong (Haines) Asia Armstrong is a Research Assistant with the Important Shark and Ray Areas project, where she helps with workshop planning and creating maps. Her favorite species is the reef manta ray, which inspired her to go into science!

I'm excited to share that I'll be representing both Important Shark and Ray Areas - ISRAs and Project Manta at the upcoming #IPFC2023 ASFB in Auckland! Who else is going?

Amazing opportunity!

How much will it cost to save biodiversity in Australia? Hugh Possingham says “the cost of 6 submarines” at UQ Centre for Biodiversity & Conservation Science panel on the price of neglect. Which would you rather have a protected continent full of #biodiversity or 6 submarines?

The Angel Shark Project (ASP) family are proud to have supported the delineation of four Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs) and two Areas of Interest (AoI) in the Mediterranean 🦈🌍

The Important Shark and Ray Areas from the Western Indian Ocean region have been added to our e-atlas! A compendium is coming soon. View our e-atlas: sharkrayareas.org/e-atlas/ Learn more about us: sharkrayareas.org/about-isras/

Hot off the press: What are the benefits of collaboration for acoustic tracking arrays? Queensland has drastically increased their acoustic coverage. Led by #AdamBarnett Biopixel doi.org/10.1186/s40462…

Australia next please!
