Coastal Natives

A talk on the lives of sharks, stingrays and fish, with reflection on how we should treat them.

ArtScience Museum

This event is part of the Waves of Change Festival 2023 held at ArtScience Museum on the 5th to 27th of August 2023.The Inner-Lives of Sharks, Stingrays and Siamese Fighting FishFishes are considered simple creatures by many. They are believed to be devoid of intelligence and sentience. But new discoveries highlight that fishes are more complex than originally thought; they can feel pain and pleasure, have good memories, hunt cooperatively and can solve tasks. Equipped with this new knowledge we must ask ourselves: is it time to change the way we think about, and treat, fishes? In this session, we will hear personal stories about the unique lives of fishes that will make you fall in love with them - from Siamese fighting fish, to cleaner wrasse and stingrays and sharks. We will examine the way we treat them and how we can right these wrongs. In this talk, Naomi shares about her research on sharks, stingrays and Siamese fighting fish - and what we can do to help these often under-appreciated lives. About the host: Naomi Clark-Shen studies sharks and rays caught by fisheries in Southeast Asia. As well as conservation, she is passionate about fish welfare and has recently been working on the living conditions and welfare of Siamese fighting fish.Location: ArtScience Cinema, Level 4For the full festival line-up, click <a href="http://www.wavesofchangefestival.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">HERE</a>!Please note that there are limited seats to all talks.
