24.01.2022 Attention Biology Teachers. It has been a challenge for our visiting biologists completing the mandatory practicals and preparing for the data test and student experiment. Poor underwater visibility has been a limitation for our survey technique, but warm water and low visibility does mean SHARKS at our study sites. Thanks to the students from Anglican Church Grammar School, Cleveland District State High School, Runcorn State High School, Corinda State High School, St Augustine’s College, and Matthew Flinders Anglican College for helping to collect useful data. We will present a webinar on our program this Saturday 28 Nov 2pm to 3pm As part of STAQ’s Senior Biology and Marine Science Day.
