Very happy to see this work with @sarahperry.bsky.social @cbmwc.bsky.social and co published. These findings help guide our continued efforts to better understand when, where and why #angelsharks are using @iucnshark.bsky.social Cardigan-Caernarfon Bay #ISRA ๐Ÿฆˆ ๐ŸŒŠ ๐Ÿ“น #BRUVS #openaccess #sharkscience

๐Ÿฆค๐Ÿฆˆ๐ŸŒŠ Angelshark (Squatina squatina) detections on baited remote underwater video stations in Cardigan Bay demonstrate repeated habitat use, supporting the IUCN Cardigan-Caernarfon Bay Important Shark and Ray Area as important habitat area. bit.ly/esr01518

A still image taken from a baited remote underwater video station (BRUVS) on which an angelshark Squatina squatina was sighted in the IUCN Cardigan-Caernarfon Bay Important Shark and Ray Area in Wales, United Kingdom. The image is very clear, there are no obvious claspers showing that the shark sighted is female. The BRUVS is deployed on a sandy seabed and there is a spider crab attached to the bait box, visible in the foreground whilst the angelshark is clearly visible in the background.

It's thrilling to see an angelshark swim past a camera in Cardigan Bay, Wales. First sighting in years! As I wrote in What the Wild Sea Can Be, angelsharks are critically endangered but they are certainly not gone. There's so much to fight for in our ocean ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿฆ‘๐Ÿฆˆ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Goosebumps moment when this #angelshark cruised past our #BRUVS - such a thrill to work with this team on this brilliant project! Excited for more sampling and future findings - watch this space! #criticallyendangered #sharks #sharkscience #marineconservation

Our underwater cameras in Cardigan Bay give an incredible insight into our seabeds in West Wales. They recently captured an Angelshark, one of the world's rarest & most threatened shark species! ๐Ÿฆˆ Read the full story: champ.ly/RIUSW4c3 ๐Ÿ“ธCBMWC @aberdlsagb.bsky.social @neildcook.bsky.social

Always a joy being on the sea in Cardigan Bay - even better when doing some #science with @cbmwc.bsky.social and co!
