Join us for our first SEQUEST event of the year! This event will be our invertebrate focused event, where we encourage members to join us in identifying wild and wacky marine inverts that have settled on our ARMS plates over the past few months! 🦞💙🦐
No previous invertebrate ID skills required! We will have ID guides and the SEQUEST officers are more than happy to assist! 🌊🐬🦀

Do you think your favourite marine creature is the best? Prove it!! 🐠💥🐙

Participants will have 3 minutes to present one marine species and convince us why it’s the best in the ocean.
One species. One argument. One winner.

Not competing? Come along to learn, listen, and vote for who’s creature is the ultimate owner of the ocean. Free pizza all round!!

EOI and registration will be out on the 10th of March
