Cape Perpetua Collaborative presents Young Wavemakers, a webinar series spotlighting young people making waves in marine science and conservation on the Oregon Coast.In this episode of Young Wavemakers, we speak with Natalie Donato. Natalie is a junior honors student in marine biology at Oregon State University in the Chapple Big Fish Lab. She studies the sensory biology and ecology of sharks, skates, and rays. Her current focus is studying the electroreceptor system of sharks, using photograph-based 3D models. She also works on rocky intertidal habitat, and uses 3D modelling to understand aggregating anemone colonies. Natalie is also a...
