Mick Grant is a postdoctoral researcher at James Cook University, and in this episode of Beyond Jaws, he takes us on a journey from his childhood passion for nature to working with some of the world’s most elusive shark species. His story spans groundbreaking fieldwork in Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, including the rediscovery of species like the sailfin houndshark, and the challenges of conducting research in remote regions.
River sharks and sawfish are among the most threatened species in our oceans. Mick shares insights into their ecology, the conservation policies affecting them, and what it takes to protect such cryptic animals. He also reflects on the importance of mentoring the next generation of shark scientists and how research can be turned into real-world action.
