'Global patterns of illegal marine turtle exploitation' received significant attention by major news outlets when it was published, so the SWOT team reached out to co-first authors, @ASU's @jesseSenko and Kayla Burgher, to learn more about their study 🐢 seaturtlestatus.org/articles/globa…

A new study says that the risk poaching poses to endangered sea turtles is on the decline -- although data on the subject is scarce cnn.it/3fjkPa8

Our new publication on the global patterns of illegal #seaturtle hunting in @GlobalChangeBio!

Congratulations to @janiereavis_ and all the coauthors for this new article @Randridley @CarmenMejiasBal @jesseSenko Amazing Janie!!!! peerj.com/articles/12925…

Got to give a talk about my favorite topic today at the #ISTS40 #Fisheries and Threats session! If you’re attending and missed this morning’s session, it’ll be available for on-demand viewing too, so you can check out our cool #seaturtle videos

Fishers who decked their nets with green LED lights caught way fewer undesirable species, including sharks and rays. ow.ly/YcPs50HYUBn

A study publish in the journal Current Biology says fishing nets that glow green with LED lights may prevent marine animals from becoming accidentally entangled reut.rs/3uCPQeB

Enjoyed talking with @nprscottsimon about our new net illumination study on @NPRWeekend! #fisheries #bycatch npr.org/2022/02/05/107…

When attached to fishing nets, LED lights dramatically reduce the incidental killing of sharks and other top predators that help keep marine ecosystems healthy and seafood on dinner plates. trib.al/1x33F3W

It is a conservation idea from which everyone wins econ.st/3Akoyuz

LED illuminated nets reduce #bycatch of #sharks and #flatsharks by an incredible 95% while maintaining catch rates of target species: buff.ly/3KEuByK

New research shows that affixing green LED lights to fishing nets significantly reduces the catch of nontargeted animals, such as turtles, sharks, and squids. fcld.ly/xbbj05y

Aww! Even sea turtles like a good cuddle. @ASU_SFIS Assistant Research Professor @jesseSenko recently analyzed video of turtles engaging in surprising social behavior. Watch the adorable video. ⬇️ ow.ly/K3WW50GzL63

It was super fun and exciting to do field work for the first time! I got to hold, tag, measure, and release my very first sea turtle. So thankful for this opportunity and to those who helped me get here! @ASU @NSF @asuSOLS @jesseSenko @ASUResearch

Check out the awesome work my PhD student @janiereavis_ is doing to better understand and reduce #seaturtle #bycatch in fisheries!

@seanmcallister @ballenaschile @BedrinanaLuis @nature @alex_zerbini Wow @seanmcallister this is incredible. Def a good one to show in #FutureofOceans. Thanks for sharing!

@ballenaschile @BedrinanaLuis @nature @alex_zerbini @jesseSenko Have you seen this video?! A good one to show when talking about interactions between ships and sea life in #futureofoceans

THREAD Are U stressed? Animation by @BedrinanaLuis shows 1 difficult week in the life of 1 #whale. BLUE DOT is 1 whale trying to feed while dodging heavy vessels traffic @ #Ancud Gulf 3/22/19 to 3/29/19 #shipstrikes #whales Paper @Nature cutt.ly/PkuIspF @alex_zerbini

He seems like a very happy old man looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!
