WOW – do we have a story for you! Pre-ATAP, @NRF_SAIAB researchers (@3474y et al.) did a lot of tagging (dart and acoustic) along the Woody Cape coastline, #SouthAfrica. They tagged lots of species including lesser sandshark. #FishyFriday #FlatSharkFriday #FeelGoodFriday

For the month of November, we profile our Coastal Craft. @NRF_SAIAB has three shared vessels (uKwabelana, Phakisa and Observer). The vessels can do trips of up to 36 – 48 hours and accommodate 12 researchers. Follow us on IG for more info: instagram.com/nrf_saiab/ #Coastalcraft

Yes, huge ones!!! It's pretty challenging to choose what bits of the research to share when you only have 280 characters.

Exploring the seafloor from the shallows to the shelf edge in South Africa’s Transkei, our research provided support to get the MPAs in the region extended offshore. It's just been published in @SciReports nature.com/articles/s41598-0… @ParkerDenham @KerrySkink @ACEP_ZA @NRF_SAIAB

DYK that 27 white sharks have been tagged in Gansbaai, clocking up >18000 detections between them?! Together, these sharks have been detected on ATAP stations spanning ~2000 km. #SharkAwarenessWeek #SharkAwarenessDay #telemetry #SouthAfrica #sharkscience

Happy #BiodiversityDay2021. South Africa is home to over 13 000 marine species, many of which are found nowhere else in the world. A privilege and a responsibility. Their future is in our hands. #oceanoptimism #ocean #biodiversity @2OceansAquarium @saveourseas @DyerICT
