Hi I am Lisa
I am a marine biologist
I studied at the Univerity of Bologna
and I live in Bologna
in Italy
and fortunately, I became a Cousteau Divers
Hi, I am Burçak Öztekin
I come from Turkey
to participate in this scientific expedition in Sudan
I am a Cousteau Divers member since November 2012
and now in February 2013
I had the chance to take part
and observe this scientific expedition
on sharks and rays in Sudan
as a non-scientific diver.
Everybody thinks that sharks are bad animals
but it is not true
because when we dived
it was full of sharks
but they were so shy that they just went away
and it was very difficult to film them!
These fishes are first fished
and the most important parts which are collected
are the fins,
the otoliths and the muscles.
In the same time
we collect some algae or some detritus
because these fishes eat these algae or detritus
and so with the analysis
we are able to know
if these fishes eat on this reef or not
during this week
I felt very happy
because I was part of something
and I did something useful
even if it is a drop in the ocean
I did it!
and I hope to dit it again!
