In the Media

Featured on Beyond the Jargon Podcast (CFUV, Victoria)
Recorded Aug 2 2018
“What about a diver makes them better at collecting data? That’s the main question” “[...] What I found was that […] we need to have divers that are trained and knowledgeable about fish. The other interesting thing was that the different sites had different levels of precision. So some of the sites were easier to get data that was of high quality than other sites.” -Stefania Gorgopa
