Professor Jessica Meeuwig is the Centre for Marine Futures inaugural Director. Jessica completed her PhD research at McGill University (Canada) in statistical modelling of aquatic ecosystems, with an emphasis on estuaries, eutrophication and mussel aquaculture. Her research interests then returned to her first love, fish. As Deputy Director of Project Seahorse, an international NGO, Jessica worked in SE Asia on the science and management of reef fisheries, including the application of novel statistical approaches to understanding catch and effort data. Since coming to Perth, Jessica has worked for the WA Department of Environment and Conservation and the Australian Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts in policy/planning positions. At UWA, Jessica was part of the research team that delivered the Natural Heritage Trust funded “Marine Futures” project prior to being appointed as Director of the new Centre.
