De Necker at #SI2026 : False Bay, South Africa is home to white sharks, orcas, and sevengill sharks. Used stable isotopes to understand how dietary niches of these species overlap and how that changes. Sevengills had a higher trophic level than white sharks!

One of few expanding kelp forests in the world, the Great African Seaforest, hosts a kaleidoscope of marine species. Local researchers are studying it to understand its resiliency, at a time when globally, kelp forests are declining at a rate of 1.8% per year. news.mongabay.com/2026/04/a-ca...

WILDTRUST Senior Research Assistant, Leigh de Necker, will be attending and presenting at the Sharks International Conference, taking place next month in Colombo, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 Read more about her presentation and the conference here: www.facebook.com/share/p/1Ays...

See where the satellite tags we deployed on white sharks in April have popped up! www.sanparks.org/conservation...

In this #newpaper we tackle the bather–shark conflict in KwaZulu-Natal, where lethal control meets public safety. By creating space for dialogue among diverse stakeholders, we show how collaboration, not just tech fixes, can balance conservation and human safety ecologyandsociety.org/vol30/iss3/a...

This short film by #seachangeproject in collaboration with #sanparks showcases the work managers, rangers, socio-economic transformation officers & scientists do in the #TableMountainNationalPark #MPA. I hope you enjoy it! youtube.com/watch?v=rpDR...

In the final episode of the season, we talk about the most iconic shark species of all time - the white shark. In this episode of #WoS, marine biologist Dr Alison Kock shares everything she knows about this elusive species. Listen here: saveourseas.com/worldofshark... @sharkspotters.bsky.social

The #MegaMove project proves that scientists have done the work: we know where we need to protect our ocean giants, and we understand what interventions will make protection effective. #MegaMove #IMMegAs #MarineConservation #ScienceForChange #30X30 #MegaData @anammsequeira.bsky.social

So much fun talking about white sharks & why they are such incredible & successful animals! Thanks @saveourseas.bsky.socia and the #worldofsharks!

📢A MegaMove milestone has just been published in @ScienceMagazine! With ~380 collaborators from 50 countries, we mapped the movements of 12k+ marine megafauna to identify key habitats 🌊🐋🦈 @pewenvironment.bsky.social @uwaoceans.bsky.social www.sequeiralab.com/news/megamov...

A public talk by me 30 June in Seattle: "Whales fear orcas, changing their songs, migration and growth"

Our #BRUV camera captured incredible interaction between a shark & a hagfish www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts... #SANParks #SAEON #SAIAB

Last call ⏳🚨 If you have any elasmobranch and killer whale interaction records we want to hear about it! Please reach our team with the email below, would love to include them in our global review!

New #sharkscience from @hollieboothie.bsky.social Conservation impacts and hidden actions in a randomized controlled trial of a marine pay-to-release program. A deep dive into the ins and outs of pay to release. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @iucnshark.bsky.social @nickdulvy.bsky.social

For more than two decades, Shark Spotters has watched Cape Town’s ocean from above. Now, Shark Spotters, led by Sarah Waries, is looking to the mountains and suburbs of the southern Peninsula as it leads a new holistic approach to managing some of the city’s most controversial residents — baboons.

Invasive species are a real threat to our oceans. A strange bryozoan that looks like glass noodles (likely from the Caribbean) has turned up in #WestCoastNationalPark. We teamed up with #StellenboschUniversity to assess how widespread it is.

Thank you for all the incredible work you, Tammy and the team at @suhealthsci.bsky.social do on marine invasive species and their impact in South Africa. I look forward to working together soon again! @sjackland.bsky.social thanks for leading the charge!

Just published a new study on #penguin management. No, not the ones from Heard Island trying to dodge Trump’s #tariffs, actual conservation science! Waddle over & take a look! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #africanpenguins An incredible collaboration & led by #lorienpichegru
