Learn more about our project on filter feeding sharks and microplastics! Thanks once more to @saveourseas and to Isla- it was such a pleasure talking science with you!
Save Our Seas@saveourseas

Could the ocean's largest sharks be threatened by plastic so small it can’t be seen with the naked eye? Find out on ep.22 of #Thewholetoothpodcast with our host @isla_dawn & @alinamwieczorek @mplargestfish Listen wherever you get your podcasts: saveourseas.com/worldofsharks/…

Yesterday was a great day for team @MPLargestFish as we spotted over 60 #baskingsharks around Achill Island. Well done @Wildisland_film on this amazing footage which we will use for our outreach programme and documentary. @saveourseas

Happy #internationalwhalesharkday ! Learn more about how these beautiful and endangered creatures who gently roam our oceans and feed on plankton are exposed to #microplastics.

How do micro-plastics affect filter-feeding fish like whale sharks, manta rays and basking sharks? To find out more go to saveourseas.com/international-… Artwork by Nicola Poulos | © Save Our Seas Foundation #InternationalWhaleSharkDay

Project leader Jonathan Green, who is tracking whale shark movement patterns in and around the Galápagos Marine Reserve, talks to @guardian about his research into the reproductive behaviour of whale sharks, of which very little is known. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Endangered, filter-feeding whale sharks are at risk from plastics invisible to most of us in the seas. @AlinaMWieczorek & @giulidonati11 are investigating how these sharks scoop up microplastics as they feed & finding out where the plastics might come from saveourseas.com/project/microp…

Cormorants always feed by diving for fish, but no one had ever seen the bird go for a fish stuck to a whale shark

Thats fascinating - whale and basking sharks seemed to have followed suit from these guys. Only that back then they didnt encounter any #microplastics I bet you...
John P. Friel, Ph.D.@friel

Scientists from the University of Bristol and the University of Zurich have shown that #Titanichthys, a giant armored fish that lived in the seas during the Late Devonian period 380 MYA fed in a similar manner to modern-day Basking Sharks. #FishSci 🔬:royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

In time for the kick off for our second year focussing on #microplastics and #baskingsharks we see them return to the Irish coast browsing for planctonic prey.Unfortunately due to C19 we had to postpone field work to next year but we are so glad to see them return in high numbers

Filmed in Kilkee today. Wonderful to see so many together, they really seem to be making a comeback ⁦@BioDataCentre⁩ #baskingshark
