Shark Science Monday: WhySharksMatter discusses social media and shark conservation

Posted on September 19, 2011September 19, 2011 By David Shiffman 1 Comment on Shark Science Monday: WhySharksMatter discusses social media and shark conservation
Conservation

For this week’s edition of Shark Science Monday, check out this video of a presentation I gave at the 2nd International Marine Conservation Congress last May. My talk focused on how social media technology can benefit (and has already benefited) the shark conservation movement. It was part of a symposium organized by the IUCN Shark Specialist Group.

I’m happy to answer any questions about it.

    Just a correction, at no point in our history have we ever been anywhere close to the top 20 most read science blogs in the world, let alone #1.
