Emily Wilson
Research Administration Assistant
I am a marine scientist with an MSc in Applied Marine Science and more than 20 years of experience across marine research, conservation, and education in Western Australia. My career has spanned a diverse range of roles, from researching sharks and sea turtles through field-based monitoring and ecotourism programs, to leading State Conservation Programs for whale sharks and humpback whales at Ningaloo Reef. I have also contributed to marine megafauna distribution and population monitoring, along with long-term ecological studies across a variety of Western Australia’s marine environments.
