Some great news from the team currently in the Crocodile Islands, NT, tagging sea turtles! 👏 Australian Institute of Marine Science @SydneyMarine Integrated Marine Observing System

.Victoria Camilieri-Asch is unlocking the secrets of shark cartilage in deepwater chondrichthyans. Why? When you consider at ~2000m deep the pressure on cartilage is equivalent to that in a human knee after a 5m jump, you can see how biomicry can change our daily lives! #SharksInt2022



What an amazing group representing OceaniaSharks at Sharks International Thanks everyone for a great conference

🚨New project🚨 Thank you Cocos (Keeling) Island community for welcoming us for our Australian Marine Parks funded Human-Shark Interactions project! We conducted surveys and community engagement to learn about how people interact with🦈in this atoll ecosystem! UWA Oceans Institute @SeaCountrySol





Great trip to Lord Howe Island to test the efficacy of shark deterrents to reduce depredation led by Jonathan D. Mitchell and Victoria Camilieri-Asch. Definitely enough sharks around for the testings… supported by #SeaWorldFoundation Parks Australia @nswdpi UWA Oceans Institute

Another amazing fieldtrip to Lord Howe Island completed! We tested 🦈 deterrents for fishing and deployed acoustic receivers to track Galapagos sharks.

Shark depredation + bycatch are common at Lord Howe Island. We identified key fisher-shark overlap areas using telemetry and vessel tracking, and collated expert fisher knowledge to aid mitigation efforts link.springer.com/article/10.100…… Australian Marine Parks UWA Oceans Institute IMOS Animal Tracking
