And that’s a wrap for Tortuga Music Festival 2025! Huge thank you to Rock The Ocean for hosting this incredible event that allows us to share our research with the community. We are so grateful for this partnership! We had nearly 500 guests visit the booth. Hope you all had as much fun as we did! 💙🌊

Four-leaf clover or parasite? 🤔 Happy St. Patrick’s Day from the fish and bird lab! Pictured is a tapeworm called Rhinebothrium that was found in a stingray by MSMS student Sarah Sargent who is studying the parasite communities of two stingray species! 🍀

Yesterday our lab PI got a call from Hollywood about a large great hammerhead (GHH) shark on the beach... and do we want it for the lab? Not the first time we've gotten calls like this! Here is a short thread about what fish biologists can do with even a dead animal. (Warning: graphic images) 1/11

On a separate note, today is Penguin Awareness Day. I had the privilege of working with the critically endangered African penguin for 2+ years. Unfortunately, we’ve already lost over 97% of the population due to habitat loss, lack of food availability, climate change, etc. They deserve protection!

Today, we could have inaugurated the first black female president into office on MLK Day. Instead, we inaugurated the oligarchy. It’s an absolute slap in the face to everyone who has fought for democracy. Take time to reflect and grieve, but then we have work to do.

It’s never fun getting a call about a dead shark washed up on shore. However, these samples help researchers learn more about highly migratory species. Life history assessments can help us make appropriate conservation management decisions for individual species, such as this mako.

This reminds us that research in this field is quite recent compared to others but it has greatly developed in the past two decades thanks to the inspiration by these pioneers!
