After all, they are studying the largest barrier reef in the world. However, Olivia Rowley decided that she would study a different animal. One that is known to be quite dangerous in that part of the world (and no, it's not the crocodile).&amp;nbsp; Libby decided she was going to study the Box Jellyfish. In this episode, she tells us how she catches samples (yes, she catches the Box Jellyfish with HER BARE HANDS!!!) and why it's important to study these animals.&amp;nbsp; Tourism is a big deal in Cairns. There is an entire season where tourists don't go to visit because they can't swim due to the presence of Box Jellyfish. Libby's Ph.D. will try to determine when these animals are present and what conditions they like to help predict their presence and provide the tourism agencies with better information for beachgoers.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Would you like to talk about the Ocean, join the Speak Up For Blue Facebook Group: http:\/\/www.speakupforblue.com\/group\/ MCHH Instagram MCHH Twitter  ############################################ Check out the Shows on the Speak Up For Blue Network: Speak Up For The Ocean Blue Apple Podcasts: https:\/\/apple.co\/2DTQLOr Spotify: https:\/\/spoti.fi\/2SJgyiN Madame CuriosityApple Podcasts: https:\/\/apple.co\/2xUlSax Spotify: https:\/\/spoti.fi\/2V38QQ1 ConCiencia Azul: Apple Podcasts:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/apple.co\/2k6XPio Spotify:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/spoti.fi\/2k4ZMMf Dugongs &amp;amp; Seadragons: Apple Podcasts:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/apple.co\/2lB9Blv Spotify:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/spoti.fi\/2lV6THt Environmental Studies &amp;amp; Sciences Apple Podcasts:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/apple.co\/2lx86oh Spotify:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/spoti.fi\/2lG8LUh Marine Mammal Science: Apple Podcasts:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/apple.co\/2k5pTCI Spotify:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/spoti.fi\/2k1YyRL Projects For Wildlife Podcast: Apple Podcasts: https:\/\/apple.co\/2Oc17gy Spotify: https:\/\/spoti.fi\/37rinWz Ocean Science Radio:Apple Podcasts: https:\/\/apple.co\/3chJMfA Spotify: https:\/\/spoti.fi\/3bnkP18 The Guide To Mindful Conservation: Dancing In Pink Hiking Boots:Apple Podcasts: https:\/\/apple.co\/31P4UY6 Spotify: https:\/\/spoti.fi\/3f7hDJw ","author_name":"Marine Conservation Happy Hour","author_url":"https:\/\/www.absolutelysmashingllc.com\/marineconservationhappyhour","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/16286873\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/16286873"}
