E11: Meshing skills to untangle whales
 whales-online speaks with Dr Regina Asmutis-Silvia, Senior Biologist for the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society in North America. Picking up on a recurrent theme, Regina is another research scientist, educator, and activist of note. Her work on safeguarding a future for whales off the east coast of the United States addresses entanglement in fishing gear through to whales being hit by ships and boats in the region.
She speaks to the diversity of skills needed in conservation today – from being a scientist immersed in files and data through to a negotiator for the interests of the animals in political process.
