We had a great time getting back on the water with @FIUCASE & @FIUEnvironment researchers from the @peclabfiu & @heithauslab for a #shark handling workshop.
All sharks were caught and tagged under Florida research permits held by FIU scientists.

Long term trends in shark abundance offer important insights for #fisheriesmanagement.
A decades old dataset of longline surveys allowed us to evaluate changes in #sharkabundance in #TheBahamas between 1979–1990 and 2011–2013.
