Biologist Meghan Holst, a PhD candidate at the University of California, studies the broadnose sevengill shark, so she was naturally concerned when record-setting rain this year altered the shark's nursery grounds in the San Francisco Bay reut.rs/3LLiiTB

The San Francisco Bay Study captured this Thresher Shark today in Central Bay. Thresher sharks are found in the Eastern Pacific Ocean from Goose Bay, British Columbia, south to Baja California. This is the 3rd individual caught in this study since 1980.

This was yesterday off #LaJolla, the morning after the remnants of #HuricaneHilary passed through #SanDiego. Clearly, the leopard #sharks were unfazed and the water was surprisingly clear. See the white flashes? Those are sharks rolling over! @PLNU @Scripps_Ocean #sharkscience

This stunning, extra spotty leopard #shark was seen off #LaJolla Shores Beach this weekend. This unusual color morph deviates from the typical pattern of horizontal saddles with spots. Video by Peter Demman (Instagram: pdemman). @PLNU @Scripps_Ocean #sharkscience #SanDiego

This looooong nudie is practically an entire train all by itself. I'm pretty sure I've seen this species many times before, but never one this long.

Here, 180 leopard #sharks have been tracked using #computervision from #drone footage captured off #SanDiego (that's a harbor seal that spooks a few of the sharks). Next three tweets show tracking results. @PLNU @Scripps_Ocean #sharkscience #SharkWeek #Tech4Wildlife (1/4)

1st up: Sharks Aren’t Infesting San Francisco Bay, But They Do Live Here! by @MegHolst
no shark infested waters to see here! come learn about how our bay sharks are just living their lives & using the bay as their pupping grounds, year round.

From scuba diving in Bonaire for #ExpeditionDamselfish to driving boats in San Francisco for #SFBaySharkResearch, I couldn't ask for a better research partner than my good friend and field partner, @diverdarien!

The ladies of #ExpeditionDamselfish are back together for a summer of fieldwork in SF Bay. We are switching gears to work on @MegHolst research now, and it feels so good to being doing awesome science with an incredible leader! #FieldBuddies4Life
