Thanks Rob - great video
A reminder that shark fishing isn't the enemy. BUT, (and this is important) we need science to help us understand it. Let's listen to research by people like @DrNickWhitney It's the key to sound management and a bright future for sharks. #sharkscience

With so much #shark activity in the waters off New England, a reminder to all about how to handle sharks and how to identify species. Remember, if you don't know, what species it is, let it go.

Accelerometer tag is the same technology as FitBits - can count a shark’s fin beats, movements, it’s the “what are they doing tag.” @DrNickWhitney @917wvxu 🦈
