REQUEST A SPEAKER
As important as it is to conduct cutting-edge research at the Bimini Biological Field Station Foundation (BBFSF), it doesn’t mean anything if it is not shared with others! Our third mission statement is “enhancing conservation and awareness through disseminating our results to both the public (tours of our facility, talks, tv documentaries, social media, posters and blogs) and scientists (peer-reviewed journals, conference presentations and posters, fishery reports and books).” This is where you come in!
In addition to engaging with the local community and leading university courses, we like to reach as wide of an audience as we can. Requesting a speaker from the BBFSF gives you the opportunity to virtually “bring” one of our crew members into your classroom, club, or conference! Talks include a variety of topics and discuss the research and history of the Shark Lab’s 35years, the diversity of Sharks in Bimini and around the world, threats facing them today and how students can get involved in marine conservation. We cater to all age groups, and if there is a topic you or your students are particularly interested in, we are always happy to personalise presentations depending on your specifications in the application. Perhaps a presentation style is not exactly what you are looking for. This is no problem as our crew members are happy to engage in a variety of formats that are including but not limited to podcasts, panels, and Q&A sessions.
No matter what you are looking for, we are happy to engage with you! If you would like a specific member of our team to present for you, please add this in your application. You can visit the ‘About Us’ page to find out more about individual crew members.
