Lecture - Adventures and Risk-Taking on the Seas and Oceans!

A lecture open to the general public whose goal is, in all modesty, to draw connections between various human activities carried out in the seas and oceans.

For example: freediving, scuba diving, spearfishing… recreational fishing, including sport fishing… professional and commercial fishing. A four-part lecture with a brief discussion, illustrated with excerpts from reports I’ve produced in various contexts:
1/ An overview of shark attacks on humans
2/ Freediving encounters with exceptional species: orcas in New Zealand, tiger sharks in South Africa, giant bluefin tuna in the North Atlantic
3/ Sport fishing for yellowfin and albacore tuna in South Africa, and giant bluefin tuna off the North American Atlantic coast
4/ Commercial spearfishing for swordfish off the North American Atlantic coast, bluefin tuna fishing using trap nets in Morocco, and bluefin tuna fishing using electric spears off the Canadian Atlantic coast

Thursday 24 September 2026 from 6 pm.
