What a week it’s been! I’ve visited @lottepohl.bsky.social & David Casals at @vliz.be in Belgium for our #EMFish project. My first time seeing and tagging a Mustelus asterias - so cool! Thanks for a very fun day on the North Sea!

Last week, @mialybkaer.bsky.social, Ellen Jacobs, and I traveled to @vliz.be as part of the @dtobioflow.bsky.social project! We got into the nitty gritty to bring #porpoise pod 🔊 data to the #DataLake via @aquatictracking.bsky.social. Very excited to make this #bigdata 🔢📈 project a reality.

Happy International Angel Shark Day! 🦈

Angel sharks (Squatina spp.) are a group of 24 species found around the world. Adult sizes range from 95 cm to 2.5 meters, yet they can still remain completely invisible if you happen to cross their path. These flat-bodied sharks are masters of camouflage.
