Marine Programs Manager
-
May 2022 - Present
Marine Programs at INLOC focus on the key areas of: Reef management and control, Indigenous Land and Sea Country; Indigenous Rangers; Environmental Program support; and Aid and Development.As the Marine Programs Manager I oversee the on water delivery of the Cairns based Crown Of Thorns Starfish Control Program and the Traditional Owner Partnership Crown of Thorns Starfish Program. This position manages more then 60 staff and 20 trainees as well as wide range of marine assets. These programs deliver on the ground results in ecosystem management and professional development opportunities for young Traditional Owners. Crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks cause significant damage to coral reefs across large spatial scales, and are one of the major causes of coral decline across the Great Barrier Reef over the past 40 years. The damage from crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks adds to the damage from other major causes of coral decline — tropical cyclones and coral bleaching events. Out of these three major causes of coral decline, crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks are the only one that can be mitigated through direct local management.The Traditional owner Partnership Crown of Thorns Starfish Program is a collaboration between, The Great Barrier Reef Foundation, the Reef and Rainforest Research Centre and INLOC. The Program delivers training to Traditional Owners within the Great Barrier Reef catchment in the three key themes of Conservation and Ecosystem Management, marine operations, and leadership, within a COTS management context.

Jul 2015 - Aug 2015
Single month research assistant role in coral reef ecology. During this stint I was required to scuba dive and think critically whilst collecting scientifically valid data. Additionally this position gave me the ability to work with and communicate with local PNG people in the area. Due to the third world status of these communities this was often hard but extremely rewarding. Data collection was conducted over several reefs from slope through to the flat done on both scuba and snorkel for a PhD chapter. Show less
