The Scalloped Hammerhead shark (Sphyrna lewini) currently is classified as endangered on the IUCN red list of Threatened Species. Highly sought after in the finning trade due to their high fin count (IUCN, 2007). These coastal and semi-oceanic species circulate between coastal warm temperate waters and tropical seas. All life stages of Scalloped hammerheads are threatened, the pups and juveniles by the high rates of bycatch near coastal waters, while adults are caught in gillnets and longlines along the oceanic shelfs. Hammerhead fins were found to account for 4-5% of the shark fin count in Hong Kong’s trading center, the largest in the world (IUCN, 2007). It is estimated between the numbers of 1.3 and 2.7 million scalloped Hammerheads fins are found in the fin trade annually (IUCN, 2007). Understanding the migratory patterns and pupping areas of Scalloped Hammerheads could result in the most efficient way in protecting this key predatory species.  (IUCN, 2007) Post by @carlytrapanese Photo by @juansharks ____________ Want to learn more about sharks or adoption visit our website: OneOceanDiving.com & JOIN US in the water in #Hawaii on #Oahu’s #NorthShore to #SwimWithSharks and #DiveWithSharksInHawaii with a @OneOceanDiving trained #MarineBiologist / #SharkSafetyDiver Check out our #Shark and #MarineResearch @OneOceanResearch and our outreach program @OneOceanEducation #LearnAboutSharks and our Non-Profit @WaterInspired conservation group and Founders: @Juansharks and @oceanramsey Want to join the team?

Check out these amazing sculptures created by Mr. Shepherd-Jones’ 8th grade class! Mahalo nui for sharing with us 😊The students were instructed to go out into their community for a beach cleanup in Waimanalo and create a collage in the image of an animal of their choice threatened by marine debris to raise awareness. We love creative ideas like this that help engage the younger generation in this important issue, after all it’s their future and at the current rate of approximately 8million tons of trash entering the ocean every year there will be plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050. Get involved by reducing your consumption of single use plastics no matter where you live, cleanup your local beach, park or street, and if you are on Oahu join us Saturday the 9th from 12-3pm at Electric beach for our monthly reef and beach cleanup! Come create a collage like these or the #NerdsAgainstNurdles challenge to receive awesome prizes from our generous sponsors!

The false killer whales name derived from the similarly shaped skull to that of a killer whale. Like the killer whale, the false killer whale is a large member of the dolphin family, Delphinidae. Their distribution ranges throughout tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate seas and have actually been reported from Hawaii to the Galapagos islands. They prey upon a variety of fish and squid species and have been observed in the act of food sharing in the wild. False killer whales can be characterized as a social species in that they have been reported to aggregate and mix with pods of bottlenose dolphins and at least 10 other cetacean species (Stacy et al. 1994). Populations of false killer whales found near-shore around the Hawaiian islands have been genetically analyzed and have shown to be demographically isolated from offshore populations for so long, that genetic isolation has caused them to evolve into a distinct, island associated population (Baird et al. 2008). While false killer whales are a beautiful sight to see here in Hawaii, they often interact with Hawaii-based long-line fisheries and are known to take hooked fish causing them serious injuries and occasionally death, making them susceptible to anthropogenic activities. (Baird et al. 2008).

#Repost from shark field ID Page @oneoceansharks with a recent sighting of #sharkidskinnymichelle! As the summer conditions shift here off the north shore of Oahu we are on the lookout for familiar individuals returning to our aggregation sites as well as new potential ID candidates with new scars or distinguishing markings that we can begin to document and keep track of without invasive tagging procedures. We love getting to know the sharks on an individual basis and introducing our guests to them, if you have photos of an individual with distinguish marks/characteristics so we can update our ID catalog or let you name the shark if it is not yet identified! _______________ #Repost @oneoceansharks ・・・ Photo of#SharkIDSkinnyMichelle who’s been sighted again for the first time in over a year by @ge_keoni 🤙🏼 however she’s not so skinny anymore 😜 photo by @geoff_coombs _____________ Want to learn more about sharks or adoption visit our website: OneOceanDiving.com & JOIN US in the water in #Hawaii on #Oahu’s #NorthShore to #SwimWithSharks and #DiveWithSharksInHawaii with a @OneOceanDiving trained #MarineBiologist / #SharkSafetyDiver Check out our #Shark and #MarineResearch @OneOceanResearch and our outreach program @OneOceanEducation #LearnAboutSharks and our Non-Profit @WaterInspired conservation group and Founders: @Juansharks and @oceanramsey Want to join the team?
