Celebrate SeaWeek with a Marine Biologist! (Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3, Stage 4, Stage 5)

Live Event
09
Mar

Join a whale researcher to celebrate the deep blue with 45 minutes of sea-themed fun!


ACTIVITY OUTLINE:

‘Tis the time for embracing dreams of sailing the sea, mermaids and sea monsters, flying fish and dolphins, whales and tails and giant sea snails! Come along for 45 minutes of ocean explosion with a biologist who studies whale poop – learn how whales help maintain the marine ecosystem, where mermaid myths come from, and what’s happening in our oceans right now!

SeaWeek is a brilliant time to reconnect with the ocean ecosystem and remind ourselves of the impact it has on our life on earth. The marine environment faces many layers of impact from us as humans, but bit by bit, each of us as individuals can take thoughtful steps to do our part in safeguarding it.

This virtual incursion will bring us together to celebrate the beauty of the sea, with room to explore any burning questions about the ocean and its creatures, learn some fun facts, engage in sea-themed activities, hear about whale research, and gain insights into the current state of our oceans.

Aashi is a PhD candidate in the environmental DNA lab at Macquarie University.

When not hunched up in the lab or busy at life, Aashi enjoys teaching herself the cello and eating cookies and cream ice cream, but not at the same time.
