Fantastic Sharkipedia workshop today at #SI2026 Lots of great discussions and ideas about how we can improve, especially for education and outreach. Thanks to all who attended and to @sharks-int.bsky.social for hosting us!

What’s driving the decline?
The crisis isn’t just fishing — it’s invisible fishing.
Much shark & ray catch is under-reported, aggregated, or mislabeled, masking real mortality & delaying management.
What we don’t measure, we don’t manage.

I was supposed to present my research on deep-sea sharks in the western Caribbean Sea at #SI2026, but I was, er... let go from my job shortly before the conference and am not there. Since I gained a few followers from this, I thought I would share some of what I would have presented yesterday (1/9)
Join us TOMORROW for all your Morpho questions! 🦋
in a week, I'll start reviewing applications for this postdoc. come work with me in Santa Cruz, CA on fitting Bayesian hierarchical models to whale tag and photo datasets.
position starts in fall 2026. ask me questions and apply here: recruit.ucsc.edu/JPF02003

Global shark and ray populations have declined sharply, driven by expanding fisheries and inequitable gaps in catch, trade and distribution data. This Review assesses global status, highlights drivers...
I made a Bluesky starter pack of shark science and conservation professionals. Many are attending sharks international #SI2026 ! Please follow and share.
