VOLUME 41 NUMBER 3

MARCH 2016

THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE 7:00 PM MARCH 10
AT THE SOUTH FLORIDA SCIENCE - THE DISCOVERY ROOM
IN DREHER PARK
IN WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA
OUR CODE OF ETHICS: HAVE PERMISSION AND DO NO HARM

Please note change of time
for the meeting. Time to
start will now be 7:00 PM.
Change
was
made
so
meeting will be over by 9:00
PM.
MARCH MEETING
Guest Speaker will be
Dr
Stephen Kajiura, a Professor in the
Department of Biological Sciences at
Florida Atlantic University. His area
of expertise is the sensory biology of
sharks and rays with an emphasis on
the electrosensory system. He has
recently applied sensory physiology
to shark conservation by developing
shark deterrents that repel sharks
from baited hooks without affecting
the catch of targeted species. In
addition to his sensory physiology
research, Dr Kajiura studies the
massive seasonal aggregation of
blacktip sharks in south Florida. He
incorporates aerial surveys with
tagging and acoustic telemetry to
document the migration of these
sharks along the US eastern
seaboard.
His presentation will be based on
his finds in regards to our 10,000
residents sharks off our coastline of
West Palm Beach. He has been metal
detecting for 34 years.

Dr Kajiura has conducted
research for various agencies
including the National Science
Foundation, the Department of
Defense,
and
the
National
Marine Fisheries Service. He has
published over 40 papers in peerreviewed journals and has presented
numerous
talks
at
scientific
conferences. He has supervised
a dozen graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, and has served
on numerous thesis committees for
students from around the world. Dr
Kajiura maintains a strong public
outreach service, primarily through
television documentary appearances,
and has served as an elected member
of
the
American Elasmobranch
Society Board of Directors.
