Fresh out of St. Andrews College, and while working on a whale research vessel as a deckhand, she discovered a unique population of blue whales that inhabit the waters around Sri Lanka year round.
This groundbreaking discovery—previously, all blue whales were thought to be migratory—and her research journey have challenged the existing marine conservation model and her view of it.
Now, she strongly believes every coastline needs an army of local ocean heroes.
Register to learn how being local has paved the way for her to do meaningful and impactful conservation research in Sri Lanka while inspiring a generation of marine conservationists.
The Aquarium Lecture Series is presented free to the public through the generosity of the Lowell Institute.
