A team of 22 scientists have used data from the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) to track the movements of marine organisms during the Covid-19 lockdown in a new study, revealing the impact of human activities on marine species in Australian waters.
With shark cage-diving as a case study, the research team, led by Associate Professor Charlie Huveneers from Flinders University, monitored the movements and residency of two marine species, white sharks and yellowtail kingfish, over a 51-day period during the longest break in cage-diving activity at the Neptune Islands near Port Lincoln for over 20 years.

A man allegedly found with 250,000 photographs of women and children taken in public places without their consent has been granted bail.
Paul Boyle (43) of Sandyford View, Blackglen Road, Dublin 18, was initially arrested after a garda allegedly spotted him attempting to take a “personal” photograph of a young woman on the Luas in Dublin.
A subsequent investigation and search of his devices revealed about a quarter of a million photographs which appeared to have been taken in workplaces and on public transport without the knowledge of the subjects, the court heard.

The former TD also said that she had been âdeletedâ by Fine Gael when she was deselected by the party in November 2019 ahead of the general election in February 2020.
âI was deletedâ
âI wasnât deselected, I was deleted. I think that word says more than anything. I had already been sanctioned, I had apologised countless times,â she said.
âI asked for a valid reason for that deletion and I still to this day havenât been given a valid reason. I had done polls, I knew I had been damaged but I was still in with a shot of getting a seat and unfortunately by being deleted the choice of the people was taken away.â
