Its a good way to start the week. Here on St John USVI tagging and tracking. First fishing and caught 2 juvenile lemons. 133cm TL and 90.5cm TL showing that coral bay provides resources for multiple cohorts when lumped in with the YOY sharks we tagged in may. #shark #ocean #marinelife #carribean 🦈

Shark number 40. This baby lemon on Anegada getting it's transmitter. In the past few weeks the team and I have tagged 40 sharks of 4 different species. Two territories. 4 islands. So many questions. #shark #marinelife #ocean #nonprofit #carribean #marine #biologist #field 🦈 🦑 🌊 🧪 🌍 🦠

Word of the day is "Bycatch" refering to the unintentional capture of non-target species. During our juvy #shark long line survey we captured this beauty of an African Pompano. The conservationist in me cringes at bycatch but the fish Biologist get excited! #marinelife #ocean #fish #carribean 🦈🦑🌊🧪🌍🦠

It's bby #shark season and with a new project = new questions Like does the increase in #sargassum effect baby sharks? Btwn 06-12 we studied a nursery area for juvenile blktip & lemon sharks in Coral Bay St John Today I redeployed an acoustic reciever in the core area for YOY blktips It was gross.

Label your shit! Got a call from a beach goer today! Found a lost reciever from my #whiteshark work that just leaves (to many to admit) left to recover. He was kind enough to drop it off at my office while I'm in the islands for sharking! #shark #tracking #Science #fieldbiology #capecod

The journey begins to the Virgin Islands for 6 weeks of shark tagging. Sites in the USVI have not been surveyed in 15-20 years. Juvenile census will be conducted on St Thomas, St John, Tortola & Anegada. #shark #science #carribean @gacasselberry.bsky.social

As the attack on marine science and the dismantling of science. Many of us are having a very hard time. Please do not placate us by telling us how "amazing" our job is. How you wish you could be a marine biologist. Anything that dismisses our current emotions. Be empathetic but not reductive.

I am starting my journey home after visiting the #USVI and the #BVI getting ready for #shark season 25' Last year, we tagged in the BVI 120 individual sharks (7 spp). Including this 12-foot female tiger shark that surfaced just a few miles east of where I was sleeping this morning! 🧪🦑🌊🌍🤿🦈🦠

Yesterday's announcement canceling MARC, PREP, IMSD & IRACDA finally broke me. Spent most of the morning in my office crying. I think I'd been clinging to a glimmer of hope, but as an IRACDA alum,watching the the scale of loss for young scientists was heartbreaking. 🧪 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/o...

Supplies for SHARKING are arriving! Planned are 82 acoustic tags to implant, >100 acoustic receivers to record them. Targets are Tiger, Nurse and baby lemon sharks and will tag additional species caught during these efforts in both the British and US Virgin Islands concurrently! More to come

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...
