About the speakers

Catalina Musrri Fuenzalida
Catalina is a PhD student from the University of Sydney. Her PhD aims to improve the restoration success and resilience of crayweed underwater forests to climate change. She studied Marine Biology in Chile, where she researched marine ecology in subtidal communities along the Chilean coast. She is interested in climate change impacts on temperate environments and other anthropogenic impacts on coastal ecosystems (e.g. pollution, overfishing).

Luke Walker
Luke is a PhD student in marine ecology at Macquarie University. His broad research interests include investigating anthropogenic impacts on our ocean and estuaries. His PhD research specifically investigates the role of above and below ground microbial communities on ameliorating environmental stress in seagrass plants.

Sophie Vuleta
Sophie is a PhD Candidate at the University of New South Wales researching coral biology and ecology. In particular, she is interested in investigating the diversity, complexity, biology and distribution of corals. Her PhD work is based along the NSW coastline and on Norfolk Island.
