Aktuelles bei SHARKPROJECT.

Off the granite coast of Brittany, a legend is hiding in the cold water.
The porbeagle is a close relative of the great white, and one of the rarest sharks in Europe. In fact, more people have travelled to space than have ever dived with one. It once ruled the North Sea. Today it is critically endangered.
Finding one is never guaranteed. This is wilderness, not an aquarium, so the team dives with a strict code of conduct, treats the whole habitat with respect, and waits. And the shark is only one part of a richer world: kelp forests, spider crabs, dolphins and grey seals, all thriving inside France’s oldest marine reserve.
What makes this work special is who gets to be part of it. Every photo of a fin, a scar or a marking helps identify an individual shark, so even a first-time diver can add a new animal to the dataset and become a scientist for a day. 💙
🎬 In the new episode from @ocean_collective_ , marine biologist Paul Abeau leads the search for this vanishing shark. Proud to support this work. Full episode, link in bio.

Behind every scientific paper are dozens of stories you’ll never read.

The failed hypotheses. The unexpected observations. The moment someone noticed something that didn’t fit.

Science is often portrayed as a collection of facts, but it’s really a process of connecting tiny pieces of evidence over years—or even decades. A single photograph of an unusually coloured shark might not seem important today. Years later, combined with genetic studies, ecological data and other sightings, it could help answer questions nobody knew to ask at the time.

That’s why documenting wildlife matters. Whether it’s a researcher, diver, fisher or photographer, every observation has the potential to become part of a much bigger story.

Sometimes the most important discovery isn’t finding an answer—it’s realizing you’ve been asking the wrong question. #sharkweek #sharkproject #science #discovery #savesharks ...

A Sharkweek post thats not as serious :) This one is all about having fun while separating Hollywood fiction from shark fact.
From flying sharks to genetically engineered super-predators, filmmakers have given us some unforgettable shark movies. While they’re great entertainment, they’re not exactly marine biology textbooks.
The problem is that for many people, these films become their first introduction to sharks. Decades after Jaws was released, sharks are still often portrayed as villains rather than complex animals that play a vital role in healthy ocean ecosystems.
So we thought we’d rate some of Hollywood’s most famous shark movies, not on how entertaining they are, but on how accurately they portray real sharks. Some got surprisingly close… others, not so much.
After all, sharks don’t hold grudges, plan revenge, or fly through tornadoes (sorry, Sharknado). *film posters were recreated by us to respect copy right laws* #sharkweek #sharkproject #jaws #sharknado #savethesharks ...
