Dr Sara Andreotti is a marine biologist and postdoctoral researcher working toward the development of a global long-term management system and conservation plan for great white sharks since 2009. Thanks to the collaboration with world renewed shark conservationist Michael Rutzen and the country’s Department of Environmental Affairs, she completed her PhD at Stellenbosch University in March 2015; her research involved genetic techniques and photographic identification to better assess the population status and dispersal events of South African white sharks. The outcome was the first national assessment of white shark population numbers and genetic structure, and the genetic work recently expanded in an international collaboration with the University of Queensland and Flinders University (Australia). Sara obtained a postdoctoral researcher position at the University of Stellenbosch, focusing on her own research but also supervising prospective PhD and Master students.
