🤳🦈 Is chasing the perfect Instagram moment harming marine #wildlife? Our Founder, Dr. Rachel Graham, emphasizes the importance of choosing local operators who prioritize responsible tourism - and rewarding them with positive feedback in this DAN interview. dan.org/alert-diver/...

Sharks ruled oceans long before dinosaurs. Every part of their body is built for survival. What makes them evolutionary masterpieces? Teeth that tell time Built-in prey detectors Drag-reducing skin Cartilage instead of bone Guardians of blue carbon #SharkDay #SharkAwarenessDay

🦈 Local communities are turning fear into protection for #sharks. As our Exec Director, Dr. Rachel Graham, says, “Once people are invested in conserving sharks, they’re more willing to create and uphold rules that keep sharks alive.”@sciencenews.bsky.social www.sciencenews.org/article/shar...

🦈🍿 50 after #Jaws first premiered, its impact still shapes how many people think about #sharks. But, as we learn more about these complex and amazing creatures, it’s worth asking: have we misunderstood them all along? ➡️ maralliance.org/fin-fiction-...

This #WorldSeaTurtleDay, we’re highlighting the remarkable journey of a male loggerhead sea turtle our team tagged and whose annual migration between Belize and Honduras reveals just how interconnected our oceans truly are. Learn more ➡️ maralliance.org/a-mesoameric...

We had the opportunity to host partners from Mexico and Belize at Lighthouse Reef, Belize. Marine wildlife - such as #sharks and #seaturtles - move freely across borders, and protecting them requires #conservation strategies rooted in collaboration, knowledge exchange, and shared responsibility 🤝

Celebrate #SeaTurtleWeek by learning more about how we are protecting hawksbill sea turtles in Panama 🇵🇦 Since 2021, our project on Masargandup Island (Guna Yala) has combined community science + ancestral knowledge to conserve this #seaturtle species🐢 Full story➡️ maralliance.org/conservation...

On what seemed like a regular day at sea, Alex Juárez - a traditional fisher from Honduras - pulled in a #shark carrying one of our tags 🦈 Instead of ignoring it, he reached out. Today, Alex is learning how to use scientific monitoring methods to support our #marineconservation research 🔽

Yesterday, our Executive Director, Dr. Rachel Graham, and Belize National Coordinator, Kirah Forman, were invited to Sun Up On 7 morning show to share the important work we’re doing to study and protect Belize’s marine wildlife 🦈🐢🌊

Applications are now open for our Z-SCHOLARSHIPS! MarAlliance offers #scholarships for dedicated students in Mexico, Honduras, Belize, and Panama, especially focused on traditional fishers and their children, who are studying or want to study marine science, conservation, or environmental fields.

Last month, two of our science officers from Panama traveled to Turneffe Atoll, Belize, to train with our local team, enhancing their skills in marine megafauna monitoring and building cross-country collaboration.

Inspiring Ocean Stewards in Honduras 🇭🇳 We were honored to be invited by @underthepole.bsky.social for a full day dedicated to ocean education and outreach in Roatán, Honduras. Nearly 200 students took part in hands-on learning activities and interactive exhibits! #marineconservation

🔍How to Tell the Difference Between a Shark Egg and a Ray Egg? Along coastlines around the world, you might spot tough, leathery pouches washed ashore. These aren’t seaweed or debris, they’re the egg cases of #sharks and #rays, also known as mermaid’s purses!

📣 Join Us for This @marfund.bsky.social Webinar! Our Science Coordinator @ivalina.bsky.social will present results from our assessment of key commercial species in the Western Caribbean, plus an open-source tool for evidence-based, #sustainablefisheries management.

Did you know that sharing information in a clear, interactive, and memorable way can make a huge difference in #marineconservation? 💡 We believe that #education goes beyond just sharing facts and figures; we must ignite emotions, spark curiosity, and create unforgettable experiences.

We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to the support of the @saveourseas.bsky.social we are launching the “Stewardship for Sharks and Rays in Central America” project.

🆘 According to the IUCN Red List, sawfishes are among the most threatened marine vertebrates globally, with populations declining by more than 90% due to overexploitation and habitat loss. Without urgent conservation action, they face extinction.

This month, we had the honor of hosting H.E. Cédric Prieto, Ambassador of France to Honduras, and Chloé Rabiet, Head of Cooperation, during our field research.
