Smalltooth sawfish are beautiful, weird, and endangered. With colleagues at @noaa.gov and @coastalelasmos.bsky.social, our 15-year study revealed habitat preferences and hotspots of juvenile sawfish, suggesting key areas to protect around SW Florida as climate changes. Data access was a key hurdle.
