My research interests include understanding the implications of climate change on marine ecosystems and natural resources, as well as fisheries management adaptations for climate change. My earlier research investigated the use of “first sightings” of species outside their normal range as early detectors for climate-driven species range shifts, while my PhD further investigates biological changes driven by climate change, and what implications these have on Australian state fisheries. My PhD aims to identify ways for Australian state fisheries to prepare for the effects of long-term climate change through management adaptation, by utilising various quantitative and qualitative research methods.
