Dusky sharks, an apex predator similar to great white sharks, are expected to be active off Cape Cod this summer amid a historic comeback for the species, experts say.

The sandbar shark is so boring even the triangles it forms with its fins are obtuse. #YawnShark @whysharksmatter.bsky.social

Are Gulf sharks really an ‘overwhelming problem’? It’s complicated, experts say ca.news.yahoo.com/gulf-sharks-...

We have some great keynote speakers lined up for our Conference on the 29-30th at ATU. Remember that you can register on-site or attend virtually: www.baskingshark.ie/conference2025

I somehow accidentally got a not-so-boring image of the most boring shark in the world: the sandbar shark. 🦈 🐟 @whysharksmatter.bsky.social

Another beefy sand tiger shark tagged with a @lotektelemetry.bsky.social PSAT to study their habitat use in New York waters! @fishguyphotos.bsky.social #SOFOsharks 🦈 🐟🦑

One month to go until the International Conference on Basking Sharks at ATU in Galway, Ireland! If you haven’t registered but want to attend, you can register on the day. Check out the conference page on our website for details: www.baskingshark.ie/conference2025

Hide your bay scallops! Cownose rays have invaded Shinnecock Bay! 🐟 PC: @fishguyphotos.bsky.social

One of the more poignant and under appreciated moments in Jaws is when the privileged politician finally decides to do the right thing because he was suddenly personally affected. #Jaws50

A feisty sand tiger shark about to be tagged and released by the #SOFOsharks team off New York! Just one of 5 different species already tagged this season. 🦈 🦑

Drymon at #AES25 #JMIH25 asks what have we learned about shark depredation in the last ten years? Referenced this paper, with several coauthors here today link.springer.com/article/10.1... 🧪🌎🦑🦈🐠

NEW PAPER: Pooled, ensemble, or integrated? Examining tradeoffs in blue shark SDMs. Led by @sdsuresearch.bsky.social and @whoi.edu. 🦈 🧪 🌎 academic.oup.com/icesjms/arti...

The disputed paper was Myers, et al.'s 2007 paper Cascading Effects of the Loss of Apex Predatory Sharks from a Coastal Ocean Here is the 2015 Grubbs et al paper explaining why some of the trophic Cascade claims in the Meyers paper are wrong www.nature.com/articles/sre...

Taking my kids swimming with feeding whale sharks last week was definitely a top Proud Dad moment. The conditions off Isla Mujeres, Mexico were excellent. Sticking our heads in the sand for a few days was also therapeutic.

These scientists will be posting from the upcoming Joint Meeting of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists #JMIH25 #AES25 ! Give them a follow, and let me know if I should add you! go.bsky.app/8EaDAnG 🧪🌎🦑🦈🐠

This week I was excited to introduce my kids to whale sharks! We visited an aggregation site off Isla Mujeres, Mexico, where we got up close and personal while following responsible guidelines. Hoping this gets them hooked on more shark adventures in the future! #WhaleShark 🦈

It’s baby white shark season off Long Island, New York! This little one, less than 5 feet long, was photographed yesterday off Southampton. PC: C. Paparo, FishGuyPhotos. #SOFOsharks #WhiteShark

Proud to share that my second dissertation chapter is now published in Oecologia! Great hammerheads often eat other elasmobranchs, which suggests there must be some kind of advantage to going after big prey instead of smaller fish. (1/4)🦑🧪🌊🐟

Now open for submissions! A new @cjfas.bsky.social collection on the use of telemetry to support freshwater and marine conservation. This includes work from @icft2025.bsky.social and beyond! Submit by Sept 30, 2025 ▶️ buff.ly/SfcYJZN

Fun evening @museumofscience.bsky.social with photographer, Keith Ellenbogen, and the OmniMAX premiere of his documentary on marine life in the Gulf of Maine!

Sharks aren’t the only thing that SOFO is tracking!

It's bby #shark season and with a new project = new questions Like does the increase in #sargassum effect baby sharks? Btwn 06-12 we studied a nursery area for juvenile blktip & lemon sharks in Coral Bay St John Today I redeployed an acoustic reciever in the core area for YOY blktips It was gross.

Thanks to @vimsfishmrg.bsky.social for deploying a high-rate PSAT on this beautiful juvie white shark for us! The 2025 field season is underway! 🦈 🦑 🐟 #SOFOsharks

Anybody in the Hamptons this weekend? #SOFOsharks 🦈

NEW 🦈 PAPER: We tagged 150 sharks of 10 species off New York and assessed their daytime swimming depths. Important implications for aerial monitoring. Great team effort! #SOFOsharks academic.oup.com/mcf/article/...

Finally got to see The Shark is Broken! 🦈 So I’ve got that going for me. Which is nice.

🚨NEW PAPER🚨 We used acoustic telemetry to track 355 white sharks over a 15 year period in California, describing differences in seasonal trends among demographic groups. DM if you need a copy, and huge thanks to all collaborators - it took a village! www.publish.csiro.au/WR/WR24136

ICFT attendees - remember that registration closes on May 7, and that includes booking the hotel at the conference rate. For all of your conference needs, including checking out the schedule of presentations, please visit the conference website event.fourwaves.com/7thicft/pages

Come to Galway to talk about Basking Sharks! We are accepting abstracts until May 15th!

I love The Great North. When this character appears does anyone read the hat as “Chief eDNA”?

I was surprised to spot this dusky shark on the wall at the famous Beantown Pub along Boston’s Freedom Trail (the only bar where you can drink a Sam Adams within sight of Sam Adams’ grave)! #SharksNearMe 🦈 🐟

The first ever white shark tag recapture in the Atlantic, as reported in The Fisherman magazine c. 1984. The NMFS Cooperative Shark Tagging Program has been running for over 50 years! @shellspc.bsky.social

With everything going on, I’m trying to diversify my investments (aka “retail therapy”). In this case, I invested in a not-huge, but really beautiful megalodon tooth. #TreatYoSelf

Wow, hi new followers 👋! I'm Rachel, a PhD Candidate with @nickdulvy.bsky.social in the @earth2ocean.bsky.social group. My research explores the ecofunctional morphology of sharks and rays, so I'm working on connecting what species look like to the role they play in their environment.

It’s nice to end a looong week with a new publication. We assessed the potential capability of numerous sharks to serve as cost-effective ocean observing platforms (Shark OOPs 😂). #SharkScience 🦈 🦑 🌎 🐟 academic.oup.com/icesjms/arti...
