Barefoot scientists Mitchell Call and Damien Maher have just completed a day in the field with a camera crew from network 10’s “Scope”, a children’s science television show.

The scientists spent the day in the mangroves of Moreton Bay, describing some of the techniques the barefoot team uses, and discussing some of the recent findings from the teams mangrove research.
