Pleased to announce a new paper led by NSU-GHRI PhD student, Ryan Logan, on how blue marlin and sailfish behave while recovering after release from recreational fishing capture. This work provides the first, ultra-high resolution view, of the recovery dynamics of these billfishes, both of which are major targets in the recreational fishing industry.
Thanks to our partners for supporting this research!

Whale shark, Rio Lady, continues to amaze by shattering time tracked and distance travelled records for this species anywhere in the world.
She has now been tracked for over 3.8 years, travelling at least 19,300 miles (at least 31,200 km) in that time!
Rio Lady has made forays into the western Atlantic and central Caribbean, but has been largely a "homebody", wandering mainly around the Gulf of Mexico since our research collaborator, Rafael de la Parra (Choojajauil) deployed a fin-mounted SPOT tag on her off Isla Mujeres, Mexico on August 30, 2018.
Visit www.GHRItracking.org (see Project 21) to follow her ongoing travels.

NSU's Guy Harvey Research Institute and Save Our Seas Foundation Shark Research Center are working with the Charles Darwin Foundation to investigate the movement ecology of silky sharks in the Eastern Tropical Pacific.
Revered as the ‘sharkiest’ place on the planet, The Galápagos Archipelago is home to spectacular schools of scalloped hammerheads and famed whale shark meet-ups. Now the travel habits of a lesser-known species might offer clues on how to keep it that way.
A collaborative team of researchers from Guy Harvey Research Institute, Save Our Seas Foundation and Charles Darwin Foundation have so far revealed that many tagged silky sharks spend a considerable amount of time in unprotected waters during long, mysterious journeys, including some that stretched unexpectedly far west of the islands.
