Coast to Coral | The Worlds Largest Fish! Whale Sharks and How Citizen Science Can Help
Join Reef Check Australia and friends on the second Tuesday night of each month in your lounge room/office/comfy chair, for an evening of discovery, inspiration and appreciation of our local marine, coastal and catchment environments.
This month we will hear from Dr. Chris Rohner, a Principal Scientist at Marine Megafauna Foundation, a non-profit research & conservation organisation. Chris has been researching whale sharks and other large marine animals for over a decade and holds a PhD from the University of Queensland. His research is collaborative and interdisciplinary and aims to aid the conservation of threatened marine species.
ABOUT THE TALK:
Chris will be talking about what we now know about the world's largest fish, and how citizen scientists can contribute to the study of whale sharks.
