KYB Postponed due to Electricity ‘Challenges’

By

Due to the absence of electricity in Summerstrand at the moment, the next Know Your Bay is postponed to 3rd of September.

It will take place at Bayworld, where Dr Taryn Murray from the South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity (SAIAB) in Grahamstown will present the fascinating work she is leading with the Acoustic Tracking Array Platform. Since 2009, over 50 species of fish, from fishery species (dusky kob, spotted grunter or leervis) to large predatory sharks (great white, bull sharks or raggedtooths) have been tagged with an acoustic transmitter which emits a signal recorded by acoustic receivers deployed all along the South African coastline and beyond. In her talk, Dr Murray will highlight some of the research conducted over the past decade and a half, revealing behaviours previously unknown and showing who actually knows (and uses) the bay!

The event is free and open to all. From 17:30 for 18:00 until 19:00.
