Australian Institute of Marine Science
Profile
I am a member of the Australian Institute of Marine Science team conducting fish surveys and biochronologies studies across the British Indian Ocean Territory.
I am mainly involved in logistics, planning and safe execution of fieldwork, particularly diving and have undertaken the Diver Officer role on both the trips I’ve attended to date.
Climate change is a major challenge and beyond the ability of any one organisation, or nation, to solve. It will take collective global effort.
