Join us for the Future of Oceans lecture "Sharks of Washington"Presented by Lisa Hillier
Senior Biologist in the Marine Fish Science Unit with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife
Fort Worden Chapel
December 8, 2024
3-4 p.m.
Washington is home to a variety of shark species, which play an essential role in the coastal and Salish Sea ecosystems. This presentation will focus on the sharks that share our waters and how WDFW is monitoring and managing these species. I will also focus on new scientific research on two species that have moved deep into South Puget Sound and how climate change is shifting shark populations.
Lisa Hillier has worked with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife for over 20 years helping to manage groundfish, shellfish, and forage fish species. Lisa is the Washington representative on the Coastal Pelagic Species Management Team for the Pacific Council process and represents Washington in the North Pacific where she sits on both the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska Plan Teams. Lisa is active in the field conducting surveys and research via SCUBA, remotely operated vehicle, trawl, and hook-and-line, and is currently working on several shark research projects collaborating with universities and management agencies on both the West and East coasts.
To keep this series accessible to all, regardless of the ability to pay, there is no set charge for the event; however, donations are always welcomed and appreciated.
Our lecture series, The Future of Oceans, draws on the commitment of professional researchers and educators across all academic spectrums to help define and inspire the health of our oceans.
