Description

Today we explore an incredible new shark repellent device, which has been shown to massively reduce the number of sharks and rays caught on fishing lines!
We also take a look at the insurance of Hawaii's coral reefs, Noosa river restoration, 4,000 ha of Koala habitat purchased for conservation, and how a vet is transplanting feathers for wing clipped birds!
