These questions are directed towards Liz Schotman but an answer from anyone is appreciated:)
When studying deep-water sharks like the six gill, what has been the biggest challenge collecting accurate data on their movements or behavior, and how do you work around those challenges.
During the Whale Building 10, what inspired you to start the working with whale skeletons, and what part of that rebuilding process do you find the most meaningful or rewarding?
Sixgill sharks are rarely seen by the public. What is one thing you wish more people understood about their ecological role or importance in the marine ecosystem?
Hi Nick, in your opinion, what stands out as the most critical environmental challenge right now, and what practical, small-scale change do you think communities can adopt to create meaningful impact?
