@ElasmoBro @lizzytrevaskis @AustMarConsSoc @ABCaustralia Congrats, a great episode!

HUGE step for conservation of sawfish & river sharks in Northern Territory w bipartisan support to phase out commercial gillnets in barramundi fishery 🩷🪚🐟 I chat with @lizzytrevaskis on behalf of @AustMarConsSoc (01:17:50) abc.net.au/listen/program… via @ABCaustralia

"A reset in the approach to commercial inshore barramundi fishing must be based on a model centred around Traditional Owners... who are deeply committed to the sustainable management of fisheries for all Territorians." - @NLC_74 nlc.org.au/the-future-of-…

@VanessaPirotta @AudiOfficial @vogueaustralia You got to keep the car, yeah!?

0-100km/hr in 3.3 seconds.. this marine scientist swapped wake for rubber and my favourite was electric⚡️ In the lead up to this years #VogueCodes, a celebration of #womeninSTEM, I was invited to the @AudiOfficial driving experience with @vogueaustralia . Full post on Insta

How do you engage Aussies & connect them to the plight of Australia's deep-sea sharks & rays? With art AND science of course! "Fantastical Sharks and Rays " opens September 7 @austmus on Gadigal land, Sydney. 🎥 @InnoceanAU

Human/wildlife conflict = BIG challenges. Understanding 'how many' & 'where they are' of several shark spp. is crucial to quantify before any mgmt decisions regarding shark catch are made. Otherwise, it's a cull by another name... abc.net.au/news/rural/202… via @ABCaustralia

Work with #sharks, #rays, or #chimaeras in New Zealand or any Pacific Islands? 🦈Tell us where you think the most important areas are! I'm here to help you through the @sharkrayareas process🌏 Please share widely w/ your colleagues. Message for details! @IUCNShark @SharkRayFund

Good: Maugean skate & hatchlings doing relatively well in captivity. Bad: Can't put skates back in a sickly Macquarie Harbour, primarily cos of salmon farming Ugly: No decision yet from @tanya_plibersek on fate of salmon farming in Macquarie Harbour. themercury.com.au/news/tasmania/…

Rays for days

L-R: Lawrence Chlebeck from @hsiaustralia , Northern Beaches councillor @ikkyg & Dr Chris Pepin-Neff opening discussions re: retiring shark nets in NSW @nswparliament

Prepping for tonight's event @nswparliament where the spectrum of movers, makers and shakers in NSW will come together to discuss the future of shark nets in a bid to never see the nets return. Shark socks... be rude not to!

Confusing movement for progress? 🤔 Current nature laws are failing *cough* maugean skate *cough* & reform of the EPBC Act is urgently needed.

Solutions? 🐟protect crit. habitats for dugongs, turtles & sawfish from gillnetting in Van Diemen Gulf & the southern Gulf of Carpentaria 🐟buy back gillnet licences & phase them out 🐟electronic monitoring for ENTIRE fleet b4 2025 🐟Alt fishing gear = less risk to threat spp.

🧵Barra Fishery gives almost no protection to threat'd spp & only mandatory action directly improving spp survival is giving turtles "CPR". If too many threat'd spp caught, only VOLUNTARY for fisher to move-on or alert others in area 👇 Source: industry.nt.gov.au/__data/assets/…

🧵 NT Gov continues to fail mgmt of commercial barra gillnet fishery. Woeful protection of threat'd spp & now alleged incursions into sea country where traditional owners kicked out the barra fishery abc.net.au/news/2024-06-0… via @ABCaustralia

@hannahsrudd Dunno, I don't feel qualified to answer this qn... 😅
