It's not ignorance wiping out #sharks, it's plain and simple greed. The suggestion that we just misunderstand sharks and that's why we fish them is hocus pushed forward by the usual crew who inappropriately touch wildlife. I saved you all an hour of your life, you're welcome

NZ #sharkscience game is strong at #NZMSS2021. Topics included everything from habitat use, movement patterns, and shark hearing. Hey Shark Week here is a table full of actual researchers doing #shark work.

If you want to learn about sharks and their relatives, come join us in September to hear from real scientists about how they research and what they know about elasmobranchs (#sharks #skates #rays). #ElasmoWeek2021 (Check out our #ElasmoWeek2020 videos on youtube in our bio.)
