Description

“Some of the most exciting discoveries are still out there.” - Dr Mark Meekan
Sharks are incredibly adapted to life in the ocean, but scientists still have so much more to learn about these enigmatic animals. The more we understand about them and their behaviour, the more we can do to protect them and prevent their numbers from falling even further.
But, what does life as a shark scientist involve?
In this bonus episode of Ocean Matters, Izzie Clarke spoke to Dr Mark Meekan, Principal Research Scientist at the Australian Insititute Of Marine Science, to find out.

Our ocean is the earth's defining feature. But the blue of our blue planet is so much more than just a colour. It is rich with life and plays an important role in keeping our planet stable and healthy. Worryingly, we are seeing our ocean change, for the worse. In Ocean Matters, join oceanographer and physicist Helen Czerski as she meets the scientists who are working to save our ocean and marine life in one of the most remote parts of our planet.  Together, we’ll explore how the cutting-edge marine science research that’s going on there – and other places we visit - is helping to protect species across the world, and better understand what needs to be done to save our seas.
