'Creating Waves' offers a night of personal tales hosted by UniSC in the Main Lecture Hall on Thursday, August 1, 2024. Meet Hervey Bay academics researching our majestic creatures as they migrate past the coast. Traditional owners will explain the importance of the whales to the Butchulla people and how whale songlines connect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders along the entire east coast of Australia. Learn how citizen scientists are contributing to the “Happy Whale” fluke identification system which is extending throughout the oceans of the world. Proceeds of this event go to Turtle Rehabilitation and Research Centre.
