Laura Torre | Gold Coast Newborn Calf Study | Whale Research | Drone Research
Laure Torre is a conservation biologist, marine educator, and wildlife researcher based on the Gold Coast Australia.
She leads the Gold Coast Newborn Calf study, which has a large team of research assistants supporting it.
The goal of her research is to collect data to better protect newborn calves in this area, where many marine craft approach these vulnerable animals.
With a deep concern for the urgent issues of the climate crisis, habitat degradation and habitat loss, and a rapidly warming ocean, our guest, Laura Torre is dedicated to engaging young people and adults in meaningful conversations that inspire action for the planet.
More Information
Hang around until the end of the show, where citizen scientists Chris and Drew ask our guest some compelling questions about whale behaviour that they have observed while filming with drones.
