I am excited to share with you a new paper, probably my last of 2025. @drcatmac.bsky.social is a coauthor.

Our paper presents advice for early career shark scientists who want their work to be useful for conservation and management policy.

“This research is important for the conservation and Management of Sharks”: A proposed framework for ensuring that this is actually true
Many scientists want their research to inform policy and help manage endangered species, but many common research practices hinder potential policy relevance. The results of our survey provide advice...

Freeing the Spirits of the Sea
This digital painting is set on a rocky ocean shore. The sky is dark and stormy. The environment is very cool and blue. A girl with black and white hair, wearing a spotted dark-purple cloak, is summoning sparkling, ghostly whales and sea creatures from the ocean. She stands on a rock, lit by the yellow sparkling creatures above.

Tidepool posting~ 🫧
First time going to Sitka and tidepooling !! I grew up on white sandy beaches, so tidepooling just wasn't really a thing, but I'm excited to go more often~ Will post a few a day till they're gone, starting with sea anemones~ 🌊

BREAKING NEWS: California sea stars WANT you to photograph them, actually!

In our December cover story, we dive into Solstice Sea Star Search, a monthlong quest to document California’s sea stars.
Mock cover of the fictional magazine, ‘Sea Star,’ designed in the style of tabloids and celebrity magazines of the early 2000s. This December 2025 edition is headlined, ‘BEGGING TO BE NOTICED,’ overlaid atop a cutout of a giant pink sea star against a backdrop of eelgrass. The subheader reads “WHY echinoderms demand more paparazzi from human allies.” An additional text underneath reads “PLUS: CA’S Coolest Sea Stars Alive, 2025 limited edition spread!” next to a cut out of a bat star. In the side panel, three images are shown with text atop them. From top to bottom: A yellow juvenile sunflower star is shown with text describing its “Life-changing diagnosis!”; a woman holding a camera walks across a moody, misty tide pool, with a text overlay reading, “INSIDE: Fast and easy hacks to be a better friend to sea stars”; a purple sea urchin nestled amid eelgrass, with text overlay reading “Purple urchins: PR crisis for CA native.” Mock inside page of the fictional magazine, ‘Sea Star,’ shows cutouts of various sea stars with two major text boxes. The first, an editor’s note, reads: “December marks the start of the Winter Solstice Sea Star Search. We want YOU to go out to the California coast and make observations of as many sea stars as you can—all month long! Don’t know what to look for? Swipe for a who’s who of California sea stars.” The second text box, titled “COVER STORY: Life-changing sea star diagnosis,” includes this text: “HUGE news in the world of Sunflower Sea Stars (Pycnopodia helianthoides)! In August, scientists revealed the cause for Sea Star Wasting Disease—a deadly condition that killed billions of sea stars up and down the North American Coast. Read more at bit.ly/3Lm7yO9.” An image of a sunflower star is included next to the text. The logo for the Solstice Sea Star Search campaign is included on the page.

A couple of pics of a pair from a blackwater dive in Balayan Bay, Anilao. I think this is a phyllosoma (the larval stage of a lobster) riding a purple-striped jelly which is really too small for it... ID very tentative in both cases though!

#MarineLife #Invertebrates 🦀🌿
A translucent, ten-legged crustacean on top of a jellyfish. The crustacean has very few visible features. The jellyfish has a few short, pale brown tentacles, and some purple organs are visible inside the bell. The pair are seen from underneath which makes it obvious that the crustacean is larger than the jellyfish it has commandeered for a ride. #UnderwaterPhotography #Macro #WildlifePhotography #Wildlife #Nature #NaturePhotography A translucent, ten-legged crustacean on top of a jellyfish. The crustacean has small hairs/spines on its legs but very few other visible features. The jellyfish has a few short, pale brown tentacles, and some purple organs are visible inside the bell. The two are about the same size which gives a very top-heavy appearance to the picture. #UnderwaterPhotography #Macro #WildlifePhotography #Wildlife #Nature #NaturePhotography

f you’ve never heard of the Circular Seabird Economy, it’s the idea that seabirds feed on marine prey, and at their colonial nesting sites, primarily on islands, they deposit significant amounts of those nutrients (mostly in the form of guano) onto land.

🧪
Conceptual figure showing how seabirds feed in the ocean, transfer nutrients to islands, and the nutrients wash back into the ocean and are eventually taken up again by seabird prey.
