Dr. Mikki McComb-Kobza is a biologist specializing in applied conservation biology, particularly of endangered species and natural resources in marine ecosystems. She has been researching for over 20 years, focusing primarily on the biology, behavior, abundance, and movement of sharks using novel technologies. The goal of her work is to support science based strategic conservation initiatives. She holds a Ph.D. in Integrative Biology from Florida Atlantic University and is the author of numerous scientific publications.
Sharks are iconic and misunderstood species with a long evolutionary history. There are over 500 living shark species, which have radiated into nearly every aquatic habitat. Join Dr. McComb-Kobza as she shares the story of sharks’ rise, diversification and fascinating adaptations. She will discuss her current research on great white sharks and other aspects of her ongoing conservation projects.
