Got to give a talk about my favorite topic today at the #ISTS40 #Fisheries and Threats session! If you’re attending and missed this morning’s session, it’ll be available for on-demand viewing too, so you can check out our cool #seaturtle videos

Fishers who decked their nets with green LED lights caught way fewer undesirable species, including sharks and rays. ow.ly/YcPs50HYUBn

Lit-Up Fishing Nets Dramatically Reduce Catch of Unwanted Sharks, Rays and Squid

Decorated nets entrapped fewer undesirable animals without significantly impacting the amount of target fish caught

Aww! Even sea turtles like a good cuddle. @ASU_SFIS Assistant Research Professor @jesseSenko recently analyzed video of turtles engaging in surprising social behavior. Watch the adorable video. ⬇️ ow.ly/K3WW50GzL63

It was super fun and exciting to do field work for the first time! I got to hold, tag, measure, and release my very first sea turtle. So thankful for this opportunity and to those who helped me get here! @ASU @NSF @asuSOLS @jesseSenko @ASUResearch

Check out the awesome work my PhD student @janiereavis_ is doing to better understand and reduce #seaturtle #bycatch in fisheries!
Janie Reavis@janiereavis_14 Jun 2021
Happy #green #seaturtle day of #SeaTurtleWeek! I am currently studying how green (and loggerhead) sea turtles interact with fishing gear and #bycatch reduction technology to reduce the threat of fisheries interactions. Coincidentally, I get to watch lots of cute videos like this.
