Congratulations to our July FMA trainees! Today they graduate, and soon they'll be heading to Alaska for their very first deployments! 🌊

One highlight from training? A dock tour featuring the legendary F/V Wizard from Deadliest Catch! During January and February, vessels like the Wizard shift from crab fishing to targeting pacific cod, making them one of the many types of vessels our team may work aboard.

We're excited to watch these future fisheries professionals begin their adventures at sea. Wishing you safe travels and a successful first season! ⚓

Shark Week Spotlight: Great White Shark

The white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) is one of the ocean's most iconic predators, and one of its most important. As an apex predator, it plays a critical role in maintaining healthy marine ecosystems by helping keep prey populations in balance and supporting the overall health of the food web.

🔹 Great white sharks can grow up to 21 feet long and weigh as much as 4,500 pounds.
🔹 They are among the largest predatory fish in the world.
🔹 White sharks can live 70 years or more, making them one of the longest-lived shark species.
🔹 Their keen senses allow them to detect prey using sight, smell, and tiny electrical signals produced by other animals.
🔹 In U.S. waters, white sharks are a protected species and must be released immediately if accidentally caught.

Although they are often misunderstood, white sharks are an essential part of a healthy ocean. By helping maintain balanced marine ecosystems, they contribute to the resilience and biodiversity of our seas.

Shark Week Spotlight: Common Thresher Shark 🦈
Meet the shark with one of the most distinctive tails in the ocean!

🔹 The upper lobe of its tail is nearly as long as the rest of its body.
🔹 Despite their impressive size, they are generally considered harmless to humans.
🔹 Found in temperate and tropical oceans around the world.

Nature has engineered some incredible hunting strategies, and the thresher shark is a perfect example. With a tail that can be nearly as long as the rest of its body, the common thresher shark is one of the ocean's most distinctive and fascinating species. Rather than relying solely on speed or strength, thresher sharks use their incredibly long upper tail like a whip, striking schools of fish to stun or disorient their prey before circling back to feed.

Shark Week Spotlight: Tiger Shark
Tiger sharks are one of the ocean's most adaptable predators.

🐬 Tiger sharks give birth to live young rather than laying eggs. A single litter can contain 10 to more than 80 pups.
🐬 Found in tropical and subtropical waters around the globe.
🐬 Tiger sharks can grow to more than 16 feet long.

As tiger sharks mature, the dark stripes that give them their name gradually fade, making them less noticeable in adulthood. As one of the ocean's apex predators, tiger sharks play an important role in maintaining healthy, balanced marine ecosystems.

🦈 Shark Week Spotlight: Hammerhead

The hammer-shaped head isn't just unique—it's a powerful survival tool.
🌊 Can reach 18.5 feet long
🌊 Uses its wide head to improve maneuverability and detect prey through specialized sensory organs.
🌊Found in coastal and offshore tropical waters throughout the Atlantic.

Hammerhead sharks are known for their incredible swimming abilities. Their wide cephalofoil acts like a hydrofoil, allowing them to make tight turns and maneuver swiftly through the water. It's like having a built-in navigation system!

🦈 Shark Week is here!

Sharks have been swimming in our oceans for more than 400 million years, playing a vital role in maintaining healthy and balanced marine ecosystems. As apex predators, they help regulate marine food webs and contribute to the overall health of our oceans.

Throughout the week, we'll be featuring five unique shark species, sharing fun facts, and exploring what makes each one so incredible. Follow along throughout the week as we dive into the science behind some of the ocean's most iconic predators. 🌊🦈
