Sibarani et al. modelled sun bear #occupancy using camera-trap bycatch data from Bukit Barisan Selatan NP, Sumatra, finding that occupancy remained stable over 5 years🐻 Bycatch records can provide valuable information on threatened yet overlooked species: doi.org/mq8b

Thanks to Save Our Seas and Shark Conservation Fund for supporting this work.

All sawfish now Critically Endangered but sustained conservation efforts can lead to recovery buff.ly/3TRLrkn

PHD OPPORTUNITY: The Tropical Aquaculture Research team at UniSC: University of the Sunshine Coast, with the Aus Govt, NT Fisheries, & Darwin Aquaculture Centre is recruiting a PhD to research larval biology and the effect of biocides on a biofouling oyster (Planostrea pestigris).

Climbing fence is a must if you visiting Blue Resources Trust station. I really thought it was only a made-up stories, well now I knew I was wrong.

151 million people live on this island, and it's nearly 2% of the world population.

It's called Java, it's part of the Greater Sunda Islands and it's in Indonesia.

Last week I spoke to ABC News 24 about Charlotte the stingray, who has become pregnant with no male involvement in a North Carolina Aquarium.

Terima kasih Ryan Charles 🦈 Emiliano García Rodríguez

I knew delineating areas for Indonesia was not easy, but they did it well! Very professional and capable, impressive!

The search for this elusive dinner plate-sized ray continued over the years, but CDU's Naya Simeon reports a heart-wrenching zero sightings despite extensive surveys since 2001. The Java Stingaree's disappearance is now etched in marine history. 💔 #BiodiversityLoss

Breaking: the Javan Stingaree has become the first species of marine fish declared extinct in modern times.
