Analysing #BRUV footage from inside and outside of Ulva Island #MarineReserve in April. So far, I've counted 8 individual #sharks. In this footage, you can see the white spots or constellations which are unique to each individual. Fiordland footage next...exciting times

We all know that feeling of too much fieldwork blended in with a bit of motion sickness? ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜ด ๐Ÿคข #AMSA21 #AMSAconf "tell us you're a marine scientist without telling us you're a marine scientist!"
Attending #AMSA21 this week? Like to win stuff? Then we have the competition for you! We challenge you to "tell us you're a marine scientist without telling us you're a marine scientist"!

Any shark researchers, specifically of hammerheads (sp: Sphyrna mokarran) interested in some samples from Exmouth? I have a contact who found an adult specimen intact on the beach. TIA
