The Weird Fish Lady
Wed, Mar 31st 2021 at 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
We welcome Gloria Barnett to tonight's meeting
Gloria is a member of the Rotary Club of Canterbury Sunrise. She is a Past President, Past Assistant Governor and a Paul Harris Fellow.
Gloria is a passionate and well-informed champion of marine conservation. She is an
ocean adventurer, scuba diver, film-maker, scientist and an educator who has recently
turned her hand to writing books for children, young and old. Her exciting stories are
aimed at helping young people to understand the issues that threaten every one of us,
as we all depend on an unpolluted ocean environment.
Many young children in the UK know her affectionately as: ‘The Weirdfish Lady’ due to
her primary school workshops, assemblies, talks at parent evenings and her published
teaching resource material.
Apart from her writing, Gloria has shared her message to a number of interested groups
as an international speaker. Her presentations and books are based on her underwater
encounters in seas around the world. She has swum with sharks, been attacked by an
angry Trigger Fish, got stung by a jellyfish and fought off a deadly Sea Krait (sea snake)
in the waters off the Philippines. She has amassed extensive film footage and stories of
strange and amazing sea creatures.’
