The @WCSocean Giants Team does extensive research in the waters between Cape May, NJ, and Montauk, NY, to provide the science needed to protect marine species in the area and their habitat. See their trip to #HudsonCanyon on our latest #DayInTheLife: https://t.co/n9tjijWrDD

Big news: the freshwater sawfish has been uplisted from 'Vulnerable' to 'Endangered' under Australia’s nature laws. 🌊 With Australia as one of its last strongholds, this decision builds momentum for much-needed, stronger conservation action. 📸: @AustMarConsSoc

One hundred years ago, the Arcturus Oceanographic Expedition set sail from New York City. Led by our then-Department of Tropical Research (DTR), the six-month voyage made an unexpected stop at the end at the little-known #HudsonCanyon. Pictured is Isabel Cooper, a DTR staff

Thrilled to see @TheWCS Marine and SE Asia-Pacific staff presenting on the @KiwaWISHPlus and WISH Pacific approach at #WorldWaterWeek. WISH is an innovative example of planetary health in practice to implement watershed management for public health and environment benefits
DYK: Water pollution is the top threat to over 30% of coral reefs. At #WorldWaterWeek, WCS’s Amelia Wenger, Alec Hughes, and Alice Latinne, spoke on the importance of integrated watershed management to achieve co-benefits for nature and people.

Whale sharks, oceanic whitetips, wedgefish, manta rays—these iconic species need the same protections as tigers or gorillas. New @CITES proposals to prohibit commercial trade are “clearly justified,” says @WCSsharks. https://t.co/c3ccwSSTm9

For 10 years, @WCSOcean Giants has studied whales in the NY Bight. Our team gathers data that is used to better protect these animals. These shots are from a recent ‘close approach’ by a curious humpback that circled & remained close to the boat for some time. #WorldWhaleDay

Our WCS-@WHOI acoustic monitoring buoys picked up North Atlantic right whales in NY Bight yesterday. This triggers slow zones, crucial to protect the whales. https://t.co/XlYxjPPOLM Last week in this area, @NOAAFish_NEFSC saw a mother (Accordion, #4150) with her first calf.
