Last week Liz Heagney was awarded the John Holliday Student Conservation award, which comes with a very handsome cheque - congratulations!

The award was for her novel work using baited underwater video of Galapagos shark around Lord Howe Island.

This prestigious award was won last year by Dr Matt Taylor.
