Despite the town being known as Australia s mining capital, Mount Isa s City Council has had to plead with major universities to offer related degrees locally.
Key points:
The Mount Isa City Council has asked the University of Queensland to establish a campus in town
Mayor Danielle Slade says locals wanting to study mining have to travel at least 1,300 kilometres away
James Cook University runs a similar campus in the city for students studying health degrees like nursing and physiotherapy
Of the 31 species tested, it found 24 were now threatened with extinction, and three species (the oceanic whitetip, the scalloped and great hammerhead sharks) had declined so sharply that they were now classified as critically endangered. Prof Simpfendorfer said despite the bad news, great white sharks and the great hammerhead shark populations in the Northwest Atlantic appeared to be recovering due to strict US laws now protecting them. Fishing limits are needed immediately to prevent shark and ray population collapses. Governments should adopt, implement, and enforce - at domestic and regional levels - science-based catch limits and other protective measures, professor Simpfendorfer said.
Lifetime Memories
James Cook University, Australia
Hello my name is Nathaniel Greenwald and this past semester I have been studying at JCU in Townsville Australia. My major back at UH Hilo is Marine Science and the reason why I had chosen to go to JCU was for the marine science program. Studying abroad has been the time of my life and have made so many memories that will live with me for the rest of my life. One of my favorite memories that I have had studying abroad in Australia was seeing a wild koala for the first time. I had gone to an island called Magnetic Island and took a hike called the forts.

But after continuing on for another 10 minutes I had seen a group of people looking up into a tree. I went up to get a closer look and righ

Subscriber only A SENIOR marine researcher is calling for vital funding to increase shark population research as he aims to explain why Far Northern fishers are getting busted up more often. James Cook University fisheries senior lecturer Dr Andrew Chin said cries of shark populations spiralling out of control could be true, but there was no data to prove numbers were rising. The former Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority staffer said a number of factors, including animal behaviour, was likely making it seem to recreational fishers, that the population was rising. His comments come after Fishing Port Douglas Lynton Heffer said shark numbers had definitely exploded , while Cassowary Coast recreational fisher Mark Anderson labelled that as hype .
