Steve O'Shea
Steve O'Shea is a marine biologist and environmentalist known for his research on giant squid.[1][2] O'Shea began work with the giant squid whilst working for the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) in New Zealand in 1996.[3]
Steve O'Shea became the Director of the Earth and Oceanic Sciences Research Institute at the Auckland University of Technology in 2005,[4] and was a Discovery Channel Quest Scholar.[3] In 2009 he resigned from his Discovery Quest position to focus research on coastal conservation, environmental matters and postgraduate supervision and teaching; despite this he has remained active in squid research, but is best known (in the popular press) for his involvement with large cephalopod (octopus and squid) taxa, particularly their preservation.
Media appearances
O'Shea appeared on Deep Trouble (TV3 60 Minutes 4 August 2010). 60 Minutes reported that recently on Aotea Peninsular 20 pilot whales died and were visited by AUT Marine Biologist Steve O'Shea, who said "we are exploring the possibility that these animals are hungry and thirsty, because they get all of their food and water from squid".[5]
