An Evening with the Hollywood Hills Saltwater Fishing Science and Social Club

On Wednesday our Assistant Director of Program Development Jake talked to the Hollywood Hills Saltwater Fishing Science and Social Club at their monthly meeting. Jake gave a brief talk about shark ecology and biology, while also covering the work he did for his masters thesis, which studied the effects of fishing capture stress on sharks. Club members asked lots of great questions, and were able to chat with Jake afterwards about their interactions and experiences with sharks as sport fishermen. Jake's masters research on shark stress physiology was recently published in the ICES Journal of Marine Science (read it here!).

We're always thrilled to have a chance to talk to people who love the ocean as much as we do. Many thanks to the Hollywood Hills Saltwater Fishing Science and Social Club for the invitation!
