Comment(s)
Azali is a multi-skilled research scientist with more than 9 years’ experience working with coastal communities in fisheries management and coral reef conservation. I possess practical experience in fisheries stock assessments, ecological coral reef monitoring, socio-economic monitoring of coastal communities, geographic information systems (GIS), public policy analysis and data science. I am interested in applying data science to inform spatial planning, fisheries sustainability, coastal governance, climate change, coral reef ecology and management and its contribution to the wellbeing of coastal communities.
