Jake shares the extraordinary story of freeing a hooked manta ray named Freckles, a rescue that made international news, and the rare cassowary foraging behaviour he was the first to photograph. Along the way, he opens up about what repeated encounters with intelligent wildlife have taught him, how his photography has contributed to real scientific research, and the citizen science projects any listener can join today. Jake also shares his biggest wish: permanent marine park protection for the reef that started it all.
