It's #NationalZooKeeperWeek! This @FIUAlumni landed her first job as a ZooKeeper at @ZooMiami 🐨 While caring for animals was a huge part of her role, Stephanie Acosta quickly realized the importance of educating the public on @ZooMiamiConserv 🐢 https://t.co/QWqBpOV2RS

Fishing has had a substantial impact on reef shark populations, according to a survey of coral reef sharks published in Nature. Data from more than 15,000 underwater video stations reveal that sharks were absent from nearly one fifth of reefs surveyed. https://t.co/FAJwBEgDnT

The @globalfinprint team identified #conservation measures that could lead to the recovery of these iconic predators. 🦈 The study also revealed several countries where #shark conservation is working "have demonstrated good governance on the issue" @ma_macneil @VulcanInc
A new report has revealed an alarming drop in worldwide shark populations.

In @globalfinprint's latest findings, #sharks were not observed in nearly 20% of the reefs surveyed, indicating a widespread decline that has gone undocumented — until now. Led by @FIU with support from @VulcanInc, the data will serve as a benchmark for #conservation efforts 🦈

Sharks are important for the health of coral reefs because they help maintain balance in these fragile ecosystems. 🦈 @MiamiHerald's @AdriBras breaks down the unprecedented @globalfinprint survey supported by @VulcanInc ⬇️ CC: @MikeHeithaus, @peclabfiu, @ma_macneil

The @globalfinprint study suggests overfishing has made the ocean's top predator “functionally extinct” in the waters of eight countries. But reefs elsewhere had abundant sharks, suggesting conservation measures can work. @ScienceMagazine @erikstokstad

Over the course of 5 years, the @globalfinprint team captured and analyzed 15,000+ hours of video from surveys of 371 reefs in 58 countries, states and territories around the world. 🤯 @VulcanInc @FIU
THE RESULTS ARE IN: It’s been nearly 5 years since @FIUCASE embarked on @GlobalFinPrint. #Sharks are in trouble, but we now have a clear picture on what must be done. Thank you @VulcanInc for making this possible. 🦈🌏 https://t.co/JQcSi8RBUw

Congratulations @MikeHeithaus! 🥳👏
Dean @MikeHeithaus has been named an @ExplorersClub fellow! An expert on marine predators and their prey, his #research in Shark Bay, Australia is one of the most detailed study on the role of sharks in the world. 🦈 https://t.co/QVYwPHNDrn

Healthy oceans begin with us. Yaniela Lorenzo grew up wondering why sharks attack people, but the more she learned, the sooner she realized sharks are essential to our oceans. @FIUEnvironment #SharkAwarenessDay 🦈 https://t.co/hYTFUWWaXt
