Meeting, Wednesday, August 19th

[Shark Whisperer]

Our next meeting is Wednesday, August 19th! We are bringing back Paddy Ryan as our speaker. Paddy will discuss the reefs around the Raja Ampat Islands off the Bird's Head Peninsular region of western New Guinea are considered to contain the world's highest biodiversity. During a three week stay Paddy did 43 dives and took over 5,000 photos. During one dive, renowned fish biologist Gerry Allen recorded 284 fish species. Paddy photographed 213 species. The total fish species count is now 1066 and growing. To put this into perspective, the most speciose place in the Caribbean is Bonaire with 371 species. During this talk Dr. Ryan will discuss getting there, highlight some of the more spectacular species, and recount his experience of self-publishing a print on demand book.
