From humble beginnings at Jawbone to the Great Barrier Reef, Jack is a Marine Biologist and Ecologist turned science communicator and filmmaker. Starting his fascination right here in the Jawbone Marine Sanctuary as a kid, he has since worked right around eastern Australia in Marine science and marine management roles. He has spent 8 of the last 10 years on the Great Barrier Reef.
"Record coral cover on the GBR"? "Mass devastation from bleaching"? "Great Barrier Reef corals are adapting"? "The Great Barrier Reef is Dead"? It's getting harder and harder to sift through the information about the reef in our media these days. Without living or working on the Reef it is nearly impossible to understand what is going on. Jack talks through some of the information and what are the reliable sources are and he shares the skills required to fully understand what is going on in the far north.
