Fly With Bull Rays - FWBR

🐣 Meet the FWBR Interns 🐣

Bonjooooour everyone !

My name is Geraldine and I am from Belgium. I am marine biologist and I graduated from my master in marine and lacustrine science en management in October 2021.

My 3 fin-teresting facts are:

- My favorite shark is the whale shark. I have volunteered with the NGO in 2014 and this is when I fell in love with sharks 🦈

- My name is actually really Geraldine even though most of my colleague interns here at didn’t believe me because they had named a shark Geraldine at the lab for dissection. When I just arrived and went to the lab for the first time, a colleague said he was about to take Geraldine’s brain out…. 🤯

- I should really buy a new mask because everywhere I go diving, people keep telling me I look super angry under water 🤿 Let me know if you agree 😂

FWBR aims to contribute to understanding this critically endangered (Globally and in the Mediterranean) species through a citizen science photo-identification project --> When you come across a ray snap a picture of it's dorsal pattern and upload it to mantamatcher.org.

Always looking for dive companies and volunteers world-wide to collaborate. If interested get in touch!
