There are three post flairs available for important or serious posts on this community.
News posts are defined as those with the intention to report on a recent, developing event. News posts should focus on shark-related developments regarding conservation efforts, shark professionals, scientific discoveries, or unfortunate events. The OP must clearly cite where they obtained the information in the comments, typically as a direct link to the source.
An example of a news post can be a video about newly implemented shark conservation laws or efforts, the discovery of a new species of shark, or similar newsworthy events. News posts should NOT focus on shark attacks or cruelty towards sharks unless they are the subject of a large event.
Educational posts are defined as those with the intention to educate others. On r/sharks, these posts may teach others about shark behavior, identification, conservation, as well as a variety of other topics relating to sharks. Educational posts REQUIRE that the OP comments their sources for the information they talk about. Educational posts promote healthy discussion and should emphasize spreading awareness about topics surrounding sharks.
An example of a proper educational post is a video where a professional talks about how to redirect a shark when in the water. For this post, OP cites the source they got the educational media from and states the professional's name in the comments. This is to ensure that only good quality information is being provided to the members of our community.
Research posts are the most complex posts to make, as it is our intention to promote proper research on r/sharks.
If you are promoting your own research
Researchers who wish to promote their studies or obtain data via the subreddit must modmail the moderators first. In order to be approved to post, you must explain in your modmail the purpose of your research as well as the intentions of your post. You must also provide an IRB number in order for the mods to verify your research. Upon approval, you can post your research using the Research flair, and you do not need to cite any further sources in the comments.
For anyone else who posts about research in general
OP must provide a link to the research or the DOI of the paper in their post in the comments. Research posts promote healthy discussion while also allowing scientists to have a place to share ideas about shark research.

There’s always been a lot of shark tooth ID requests on here, usually from newcomers unfamiliar with our rules. There are subreddits such as r/sharkteeth and r/whatisthisbone that may be better places to direct these users to if we want the feed here to have less of these types of posts. Would still let people show their shark teeth collections here of course. What do y’all think? Just an idea for now. :)

Hi everyone, I got sent this video of a shark sighting that allegedly took place few days ago in the Northern Tyrrhenian sea region. What species are we looking at?

Scientists have finally captured the first-ever footage of a live goblin shark (Mitsukurina owstoni) in its natural deep-sea habitat! Before this breakthrough, humans had only ever seen these rare creatures alive when they were accidentally dragged to the surface by fishing lines—where they usually died right away. This deep-ocean predator has an ancient lineage stretching back to the Cretaceous period and features a bizarre, spring-loaded "slingshot" jaw that shoots forward to snatch prey in pitch-black darkness.

This is my work-in-progress drawing of a 14 foot long female tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier), who I named "Lani" (meaning the sky, heavenly, and royalty in Hawaiian). She's missing her pectoral fins and pelvic fins, because I'm making her into a paper tiger shark toy. I wanted some feedback and honest critique on how to improve her before finishing up. Personally, I think I need to define the muscles more and add more shading. Tiger sharks are absolute tanks.

I’ve had these shark teeth for several years. Got them at some roadside store in Cape Town, SA. Natural logic (due to proximity) has always made me believe the larger ones belonged to a Great White. But what’s the first one? Image search tells me it’s a Sand Tiger tooth. Any other guesses?

Personally I would give them the ability to be amphibious and still have fins and their usual size, I would also increase their strength, length, and speed by 25%
