In time for the kick off for our second year focussing on #microplastics and #baskingsharks we see them return to the Irish coast browsing for planctonic prey.Unfortunately due to C19 we had to postpone field work to next year but we are so glad to see them return in high numbers

Cormorants always feed by diving for fish, but no one had ever seen the bird go for a fish stuck to a whale shark

Thats fascinating - whale and basking sharks seemed to have followed suit from these guys. Only that back then they didnt encounter any #microplastics I bet you...

Baffeled 😲

#microplastic and #whaleshark research in times of COVID19 and what the pandemic tought us about the importance of #scicomm. Read our newest Save Our Seas blogpost: bit.ly/3doKNT2 which includes a mini-documentary on the outreach work we do. 🎥 Wild Island Pictures

Endangered, filter-feeding whale sharks are at risk from plastics invisible to most of us in the seas. Alina Wieczorek & Giulia Donati are investigating how these sharks scoop up microplastics as they feed & finding out where the plastics might come from saveourseas.com/project/microp…

Project leader Jonathan Green, who is tracking whale shark movement patterns in and around the Galápagos Marine Reserve, talks to The Guardian about his research into the reproductive behaviour of whale sharks, of which very little is known. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Today I will be presenting the work we did in the @MPWhalesharks project over the past year to develop solutions with stakeholders to combat #plasticpollution and help protect the #largestfish and the unique habitats they live in @IMCC2020 SSO11 - Afternoon Session Save Our Seas

Happy #internationalwhalesharkday ! Learn more about how these beautiful and endangered creatures who gently roam our oceans and feed on plankton are exposed to #microplastics.

An inquisitive #baskingshark came right up to our kayak as Alina Wieczorek was collecting plankton and microplastic samples in Keem bay to investigate diet and exposure to microplastics by these large filter feeders. Save Our Seas

Yesterday was a great day for team Smallest Plastics and the Largest Fish as we spotted over 60 #baskingsharks around Achill Island. Well done Wild Island Pictures on this amazing footage which we will use for our outreach programme and documentary. Save Our Seas

Learn more about our project on filter feeding sharks and microplastics! Thanks once more to Save Our Seas and to Isla- it was such a pleasure talking science with you!
