Agnes Le Port

Agnes Le Port is a Researcher at James Cook University, specializing in marine biology, conservation genetics, and environmental DNA (eDNA) applications. Her work focuses on ecological restoration, population dynamics, and biodiversity assessment in coastal and tropical marine ecosystems.

• Key research areas: Marine Conservation, eDNA Technology, Fisheries Management
• Collaborates with institutions like Reef and Rainforest Research Centre (RRRC) and CRC Press
• Recent publications (2024–2012) examine marine restoration, genetic tools for species monitoring, and MPA efficacy

Her research integrates molecular ecology and habitat restoration, with applications to endangered species (e.g., sharks, sawfishes) and foundational species like corals and shellfish. Articles highlight methodological advancements (RAD-Seq, eDNA workflows) and ecological insights into dispersal patterns and population connectivity.

Agnes contributes to interdisciplinary collaborations, particularly in marine conservation strategies across Australia, New Zealand, and Micronesia. Her work bridges empirical research and practical management frameworks for coastal ecosystems.
