Episode Ep28 - Usapang giant clam, helmet shell at Pag-asa Island
Ms. Lala Grace Calle is currently an editor at Cactus Communications. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Fisheries from the University of the Philippines Visayas and is currently pursuing a Master of Marine Science at the University of the Philippines Diliman. From 2017 to 2021, she worked with the Coral Reef Ecology Laboratory, where her team concentrated on assessing the status of giant clams in the Philippines. In 2022, she was among the researchers stationed on Pag-asa Island to evaluate the surrounding coral reefs. Her research interests lie in molluscan behavior and behavioral ecology, with a particular focus on the activity patterns and foraging behavior of the helmet shell, Cassis cornuta.
