Our research trips to #Niue revolve around understanding the interactions between #sharks and #fishers, with a goal of co-designing solutions to help them coexist in a changing climate. One of the components of this work includes tracking the movements of sharks that are caught in the local fishing grounds. Offshore, the fishers are primarily interacting with silky sharks. Here, Io and our ED @jessaddwater are preparing to secure a shark in the water, just along the side of the boat, so it can be tagged, measured and released.

We are back in #Niue after more than two years, since their borders were closed for Covid. We love this #island and to welcome you all back, @jinnamhopotoa is going to introduce you to a Niuean favorite. He’s been a star researcher this week with our team here in #Niue. You’ll hear more from Jinnam this week, as he’s going to take over our stories. Give him a follow!

Did you know that fish can have wings? Have you ever seen a #flyingfish? Or ever eaten one? They’re delicious (the #sharks like them a lot too 😉). Tell us about your flying fish moments below!
