Event description

Re- scheduled! - new time 11am - 12pm, 
25 January 2022

Coogee Surf Lifesaving Club requires proof of vaccination as a condition of entry to their venue.

Many people avoid thinking about sharks when entering the water, but what would happen if sharks were to actually disappear from our beaches?

Often out of sight and out of mind, there is a lot more to these incredible animals than we see in news headlines. Australia is home to an impressive diversity of shark species, ranging from pocket-sized predators to giant vegetarians. PhD Candidate Sian Liddy will be discussing the roles sharks play in balancing marine ecosystems, and why their conservation matters for the future of our oceans.

Presenter - Sian Liddy 

PhD Candidate in Marine Ecology at the University of Sydney

My research aims to understand sharks as complex mobile ecosystems. I study Bull, White, Dusky Whaler and Port Jackson sharks through a microbial lens to better understand what influences the health and function of these important species. I am passionate about using novel scientific approaches to protect our rapidly changing marine environment, and communicating the oceans value to foster greater engagement with marine conservation.
