Excited to release the first underwater footage of an #Angelshark off the #Welsh coast.
Incredible to spend time and capture some amazing moments from swimming to feeding. Even more special and important being a juvenile ๐๐ผ๐ฆ

๐ฆ Tope Tracking Update!
2 female tope sharks, tagged in Cardigan Bay this summer, have been detected 100 miles away in the Bristol Channel!
Thanks to @SwanseaUniย for alerting us to the detections, helping to learn more about tope movements around the UK coastline.
Excellent event @BPSMTU thanks to @louiseovery@strandings_man@JDScuba and @IrishElasmos. Dissection of an Angel Shark that was found on the shore in co Clare. A critically endangered species. So cool to see one up close.
Heading back to @ZSLScience from Ireland- helped @louiseovery and @JDScuba conduct a #CSIOfTheSea Angel Shark Project: Ireland demo exam of an Irish stranded #angelshark for an audience at @MTU_ie. Found dead stranded near Ballyvaughan in July- hope the attendees found it useful!

After a frustrating August where fieldwork was cancelled by the brilliant UK weather it was great to get back out and tag 4 more immature female tope in @ACA_PLAS_SAC! Thanks to our skipper Tony and 3 local fishers for their help!
