Juerg received his doctorate in Biology from the University of Zurich and has been studying sharks and remoras, as an independent researcher, for more than 20 years. He is interested in the behaviour and ecology of free-ranging sharks, marine tourism, marine protected area design, and how small-scale conservation projects can be successfully implemented in developing countries. Juerg has been involved with the Shark Reef Marine Reserve since 2001. Using a range of methods from direct observation to electronic tagging, he has been studying the life cycle of the bull shark, his focus species, and how shark feeding tourism affects their behaviour.
