A groundbreaking study published in Science has brought to light a concerning reality for #deepwater sharks and rays worldwide. The research reveals that numerous species inhabiting depths beyond 200 meters (~650 feet) are teetering on the edge of #extinction due to #overfishing.
In a recent expedition along the Atlantic coast of Honduras, our team made a remarkable discovery. We encountered a juvenile Atlantic sixgill shark (Hexanchus vitulus) bearing one of our tags at a depth of 230 meters (755 feet)!
This finding highlights the potential resilience of deepwater sharks when promptly released by fishers after incidental capture, and may serve as a beacon of hope amidst the concerning trends revealed.

This #ValentinesDay, let's explore the softer side of #sharks💙
Beyond their solitary reputation, research shows some sharks have friends, too!
For example, bull, grey reef, & lemon sharks have been observed forming enduring social bonds with their chosen companions.🦈
