One third of the world's shark and ray populations are now threatened with extinction, but new scientific techniques are helping researchers identify strategies that work to help populations recover. #SFUBioSci researcher Nathan Pacoureau explains: https://theconversation.com/reversing-the-decline-in-shark-and-ray-populations-is-possible-but-requires-strong-governance-and-management-206285 #sfuscience #sfu #sharks #marineconservation #marinebiology

Climate change is reshaping our coastline and ecosystems, and research suggests that as glaciers retreat they will create over 6,000 kilometres of new Pacific salmon streams by 2100.

A cacophony of human made noise is drowning out the sounds of nature — and it’s only getting louder. Could #kelp forests provide refuge for marine animals?
