I’m Frederico and I’m doing a PhD in Marine
Biology at ECU.
When I first came here in 2009 for three months
and that was great experience actually.
I got on really well with all of the people
in the group and got involved with many projects,
so I decided to actually move here and do
a Masters here at ECU.
In Italy, you don’t get to go fish quite
a lot, it’s not (got) these facilities,
so when I first came her it was like wow,
this is the place where I want to be. And
during these three months I got to dive every
day – from Exmouth, Ningaloo Reef to down
south in Rockingham and Hillarys.
It’s amazing I’ve found a completely different
world here and that’s why I’m here now,
doing my PhD.
