Marine biologist, award-winning author and documentary film-maker Sheree Marris will be on the Main Stage at September’s GO Diving Show ANZ in Sydney, and she will be talking about the odd, outrageous and out-of-this-world lives of octopus.
If Sheree had her way, she’d swap lungs for gills and trade in legs for a sparkly mermaid tail—but since evolution had other plans, she spends her days blowing bubbles and making waves in marine conservation. She is renowned for creating bold, innovative projects that bridge the gap between science and the public – think international exhibitions, IMAX films and headline-grabbing campaigns.
Her publications include KamaSEAtra – Secrets of Sex in the Sea, a cheeky dive into the underwater world of reproduction, and her latest book Octopuses: Underwater Wonders. With a knack for turning complex science into captivating stories, Sheree is also a regular media commentator, Adjunct at James Cook University, and has been recognised with multiple Young Australian of the Year awards, the Centenary Medal, and the Committee for Melbourne Achiever Award. Expect passion, purpose and a splash of sass.
