World Seagrass Day 2025. This year's theme is "Nurturing the Oceans' Lifelines: Seagrass" Seagrass meadows are vital components of marine ecosystems. They serve as critical habitats, supporting a diverse array of marine life, including various species of sharks and rays.

And most importantly, thanks to @iucnshark.bsky.social and @elasmoproject.bsky.social for making this happen almost 20 years after this was done the first time (www.iucnssg.org/uploads/5/4/...). It shows just how much work has been done on sharks and their relatives in that period.
