The organisers of Shark-Con have announced that Dr. Robert Hueter is the latest speaker to confirm his appearance at the event on the weekend of 3rd and 4th May 2014.

Dr. Hueter is Senior Scientist & Director of Mote Marine Laboratory’s Center for Shark Research (CSR). He joined Mote in 1988 as a Postdoctoral Scientist, was promoted to Staff Scientist and Manager of Mote’s Shark Biology Program in 1990, was appointed Director of the CSR in 1992, and was promoted to Mote Senior Scientist in 1994. In 2001, Dr. Hueter was awarded Mote’s Perry W. Gilbert Chair in Shark Research. As Director of the CSR, a national research center developed in cooperation with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and other institutions, Dr. Hueter supervises research, educational projects, and international exchanges on issues dealing with sharks, skates and rays. He also coordinates the National Shark Research Consortium (NSRC), a coalition of four research organizations (Mote, Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, Virginia Institute of Marine Science, University of Florida) with leading programs in shark research.

Most recently, Dr. Hueter was on NPR discussing the success of his whale shark research and the discovery of where they might go to give birth:
