Thursday 8 November marked the start of the November Marine Conservation Speaker Series held at the Save Our Seas Shark Centre, which opened with talks from Dr. Paul Cowley and Lauren De Vos. The talks, which are free and open to the public, aim to provide a platform for marine researchers and experts to share their knowledge and passion for sharks and marine conservation with members of the public.<\/p>\n

Dr. Paul Cowley, who is the Principal Scientist at the South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity (SAIAB), a Research Associate of the Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science and a member of the Faculty of Science at Rhodes University and an active member of several national research coordinating groups, gave a talk that focused on \u2018The role of estuaries in the life of iconic fishery species\u2019. Dr. Cowley\u2019s talk discussed the important role of estuaries in maintaining healthy fisheries as well as the vulnerability of estuarine fish species in the context of research findings from biotelemetry and other data monitoring techniques. His talk highlighted the need for enhanced management of estuaries and showed the importance of Catch And Release Angling (CARA) clinics in South Africa.<\/p>\n
