We had all the seasons this week for receiver downloading in Tampa Bay, Terra Ceia Bay, and Manatee River. Felt really bad for the divers on the cold days, but we got some exciting new data for our sawfish, shark, and cownose ray tracking studies! #SawfishScience #SharkScience #TrackingNotSlacking

‼️URGENT CALL TO ACTION FOR CHARLOTTE COUNTY, FLORIDA RESIDENTS‼️ This Tuesday, May 27, 2025, the Charlotte County Commission will vote on a proposal to re-zone an exceptional portion of the Peace River and a crucial nursery for endangered smalltooth sawfish for high-density commercial development.

Excited to talk about endangered smalltooth sawfish today at our booth at #FMSEA25 #SawfishResearch #RespectReleaseReport

Smalltooth sawfish are beautiful, weird, and endangered. With colleagues at @noaa.gov and @coastalelasmos.bsky.social, our 15-year study revealed habitat preferences and hotspots of juvenile sawfish, suggesting key areas to protect around SW Florida as climate changes. Data access was a key hurdle.

If you see a healthy, sick, injured, or dead sawfish please call 844-4-SAWFISH, email [email protected], or submit the form at www.SawfishRecovery.org. All reports of this endangered species help us monitor the population and track any new threats. www.local10.com/news/local/2...

U.S. Sawfish Recovery team member Dr. Dean Grubbs will be giving an online webinar November 7 for Angari Foundation about his research on critically endangered smalltooth #sawfish. Details at www.facebook.com/events/15004...

I blocked off this entire week on my calendar to work on a #sawfishscience manuscript that I had to put on hold last fall when other things required my attention. Instead we have to deal with Hurricane Helene, and I'm thinking this paper is cursed. 😡

"Most likely it's algae based neurotoxin, powerful ones, that primarily affect the animals through the gills," said U.S. Sawfish Recovery team member Dr. Dean Grubbs. #sawfish www.fox13news.com/news/scienti...

A man pled guilty to knowingly violating the #ESA by removing the rostrum of a smalltooth sawfish while on a shrimp boat off the Florida Keys and ONLY got one year of probation. Why do such egregious actions with endangered #sawfish result in such little consequence?? www.wlox.com/2024/09/05/o...

Tremendous thank you to the Letts Dive Club members for letting me spend the evening with you talking about endangered smalltooth sawfish. And, because of your immense generosity and concern, we raised nearly $700 for our emergency sawfish efforts in the Keys!!! THANK YOU 💚

“Given the limited population size of smalltooth sawfish, the mortality of [these] sawfish could have an impact on the recovery of this species” said Adam Brame, NOAA Fisheries’ sawfish recovery coordinator. winknews.com/2024/04/10/s...

NOAA Fisheries and partners are initiating an effort to rescue and rehabilitate smalltooth sawfish affected by an ongoing mortality event in South Florida. For more information visit www.SawfishRecovery.org www.fisheries.noaa.gov/feature-stor...

Thank you Xavier Walters with NewsNation for sharing this important story about endangered sawfish deaths in the Florida Keys. And great job by U.S. Sawfish Recovery team member Dean Grubbs with Florida State University Coastal & Marine Laboratory. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8pB...

"The mass #sawfish mortality event in the Keys could have devastating consequences for the population of this endangered species that was starting to show improvements following 20 years of ESA protections." -Tonya Wiley, Leader of the U.S. Sawfish Recovery Team www.outdoorlife.com/fishing/flor...

I had a great time last night with the Manatee County Sail & Power Squadron talking about the history of endangered sawfish in the United States and our #sawfish research in the #TampaBay region of Florida!

Huge thanks to Kyalami Scuba Club for a great evening to discuss #sawfish in the U.S. & protocols for divers to follow during encounters. Sawfish are ESA protected, divers can help this endangered species by following viewing guidelines available at www.SawfishRecovery.org.
