Rebecca Fisher

Dr Rebecca Fisher is an Adjunct Research Fellow at the UWA Oceans Institute (The University of Western Australia). Her research spans marine biology, ecology, and environmental science, with a focus on coral reefs, marine protected areas, and Bayesian statistics applications. She contributes to global sustainable development goals through marine conservation research.

• Key affiliations: University of Western Australia, Australian Institute of Marine Science
• Research expertise: Coral reef ecology, marine monitoring, ecotoxicology, and Bayesian modeling

Recent publications highlight her work on whale shark movement around artificial structures, seismic survey impacts on pearl oysters, and bayesnec software for toxicity modeling. Her collaborations extend across 94 institutions globally, with significant contributions to reef shark conservation and Indigenous sea Country monitoring frameworks.

Dataset contributions include fish-habitat relationships, coral health monitoring, and soil bioturbation studies. Research trends emphasize nonlinear ecological modeling, disturbance impacts, and conservation data science.
