- This delegate is presenting an abstract at this event.

I started working with Sharks And Rays Australia (SARA) in 2019 on a QLD-wide sawfish education campaign funded by the Save Our Seas foundation. I began managing the citizen science database and rostrum catalogue shortly afterwards, and in 2021 started my PhD with SARA and the University of the Sunshine Coast. My PhD incorporates field work with the Indigenous Land And Sea Ranger program, museum and newspaper archives, citizen science and donated and confiscated rostra to build baseline population estimates and assess sawfish population declines in QLD.
