The global cargo fleet has doubled in the last 16 years– and whale & shark ship strikes mirror that trend. University of Southampton researchers outline steps the world can take to prevent “ocean roadkill,” including #WHOI 's acoustic buoys.

There is increasing evidence that ship strikes are a major cause of mortality for whales, sharks and other ocean giants.

With the global fleet growing, some simple actions can turn things around. go.nature.com/3Pu8Juu

Hammerhead sharks “hold their breath” to keep warm as they hunt in deep, cold waters, a new study finds. The previously unobserved and unexpected phenomenon may be widespread among other deep-diving sharks and fishes.

Putting sharks on the map: A global standard for improving shark area-based conservation

A new scientific article by top shark specialists describes a new approach to identifying critical areas for sharks and rays globally.

Read on: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Scientists have developed a new framework to consider the biological and ecological needs of sharks, rays, and chimaeras, and to inform planning to secure the protection they need.

Read the study in Frontiers in Marine Science: fro.ntiers.in/WMsn, or our news site ⬇

With an estimated 37% of species threatened with extinction, there is new hope for sharks, rays, and chimaeras 🦈.

The Important Shark and Ray Area Criteria could be a game-changer for their #conservation .

Arrived to the Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, to introduce astro-oceanography:
A new discipline advancing our search for non-existing oceans in remote exoplanets by using non-existing oceans on Earth's extreme deserts as proxy.
If all goes well, I may write a textbook

So many interesting point of views yesterday at IAC Paris 2022’s panel “Progress in addressing biodiversity from space”.
European Space Agency supports many international agreements like the Ramsar Convention and the Convention on Biological Diversity.

Just finished talking at IAC Paris 2022 about how we have to adapt to new climate scenarios.
With the #climatecrisis on Europe's agenda, I was glad to announce that in Nov, European Space Agency will table the new ESA climate programme (2023-2029), at the next Ministerial Council.

Let’s zoom out and get the big picture! Some quick Neptune facts:
📍 Far out - 30x farther from the Sun than Earth
🕶️ Hello darkness my old friend - Neptune doesn’t get much Sun, so high noon would be like a dim twilight on Earth.
🥶 Ice giant. Brr.
