Welcome to the new Ocean Predator Lab at @ZSLScience! For our first tweet, here is a short thread on who we are and what we do. For more information on our work, check out our new website: https://t.co/gPBKRxciu7 1/8

BREAKING: The IUCN Species Survival Commission Shark Specialist Group has released a new report on the global conservation status of sharks and their relatives. https://t.co/WWkuw21vfU

Great to see two more papers from postdoc work with @ZoologyUBC funded by the British Columbia Salmon Restoration and Innovation Fund published over the last few weeks! #fishsci #aquaculture #atlanticsalmon #smoltification

Unintended consequences of OHS interventions for fishers driven by wider social and structural determinants of health. Solutions include co-design and coordination to combat 'regulatory overload'. New paper out this week... https://t.co/kYfGGmEWIR @ExeterMarine @UniofExeterESI

Congratulations to @jtlrocketman on passing his PhD viva for his coral reef research as part of @Biome_Health. You have been a credit to @ZSLScience, @UCL and all your supervisors. Massive thanks to examiners @Sal_Keith and @lucyrroberts. #PhDone 🥳 🍾

Out today in @CommsBio our new #OpenAcess paper on the impact of #environmental stress on reef #shark residency! ➡️ https://t.co/RKtIYC8XM5 @ZSLScience @Marine_Science @kclgeography @LancsUniLEC @ZSLMarine Thread ⬇️ Photo credit ©Bertarelli Foundation / George Duffield

After a frustrating August where fieldwork was cancelled by the brilliant UK weather it was great to get back out and tag 4 more immature female tope in @ACA_PLAS_SAC! Thanks to our skipper Tony and 3 local fishers for their help! @ZSLMarine @OceanPredatorLb @ProjectSIARC

After a slow start to the day, we successfully tagged 4 female tope sharks. Looking forward to seeing what these amazing animals get up to over the next year. Back in a couple of weeks to hopefully tag some more! @ProjectSIARC #TopeSIARCProject

Day 1 of tope fishing had beautiful weather - unfortunately no tope! Fingers crossed for better fishing tomorrow. #TopeSIARCProject @ProjectSIARC

Reflecting on an intense few days up in Orkney at the pilot whale mass stranding with @strandings It was incredible to part of the team, a huge thank you to everyone involved and the incredible community of Sanday 🙏🐳 #SMASS #CSIoftheSea

Excellent day deploying the first acoustic receivers for our #tope study in beautiful @ACA_PLAS_SAC! Role on day 2 tomorrow! @ProjectSIARC @OceanPredatorLb #UKsharks #trackingnotslacking #fishsci

Productive first day out on the water. 8 receivers deployed and managed to get in before the storm hit. #TopeSIARCProject #SharkScience @ProjectSIARC #topeshark #tope

Heading out to sea the deploy the gear for our new Tope #shark tagging project in North Wales with @ProjectSIARC #SharkScience #trackingnotslacking

Happy to share i'm joining @ProjectSIARC and @OceanPredatorLb investigating movements + ecology of tope in @ACA_PLAS_SAC! A detour from lab physiology but excited to build new skills and contribute to conservation of endangered UK sharks 🦈 #trackingnotslacking #sharkscience
