Some INCREDIBLE photos taken by Mountain and Wave Films documenting a trip to the Flower Garden Banks in an attempt to capture some sharks for a trophic ecology study. This project would not have been possible without the funding provided by the @saveourseasfoundation

Starting my new year off right with my supervisor @simonjpierce.bsky.social sending me this awesome pic of me from our winter surveys at Flat Rock.

Looking forward to diving again this year as we continue our work with critically endangered grey nurse sharks!

Hope to see many of you underwater 🤞🏼

Let’s be honest. Science blogs, while fun and informative, generally don’t appeal to a non-scientific audience (even if they’re the target demographic).

What if we use pretty pictures and I just tell you everything you would like to know about my topic of research?

For those of you considering attending the Oceania Chondrichthyan Society conference next year, plenary's have been announced!!

Come visit us on the Sunshine Coast! We are organising an awesome conference!
