In 2019, a team of fisheries biologists from William & Mary’s Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS), led by Professor Mary Fabrizio, traveled to Nepal to study the country’s freshwater fishes. Their goal was to understand how national parks – primarily designed to protect large land animals – may also protect fish habitats and diversity. Along the way they learned a great deal about the rewards and challenges associated with conducting international research. In this talk, Professor Fabrizio provides a first-hand account of the expedition — from extreme heat to wild rhinoceros encounters — and what they hope to discover with the information they gathered.
