IUCN SSC Seaweed Specialist Group

I am currently an Honorary Fellow at The University of Queensland and a postdoc at UCLA and Stanford. I am a marine community ecologist and marine spatial planner. My research focuses on understanding the impacts of marine heatwaves on kelp forest ecosystems. I also research the role of marine protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures for providing climate resilience and designing networks of climate-smart marine protected areas. I support conservation initiatives with NGOs, parks, and fishers, and teach decision tools such as Marxan. My heart remains in my beautiful Costa Brava, Spain (Catalonia), where I do my best to support conservation. I am a naive dreamer, and I know future generations will dive into healthy kelp forests and thriving marine ecosystems.

Jacqui is a marine ecologist with a passion for seaweeds who’s work has taken her to Japan and the UK.

Currently a Research Fellow with Deakin University in her homeland of Victoria, Australia, she brings a combination of government, community and academic experience to the Seaweed Specialist Group.

ULoyiso yingcaphephe yebhayoloji yaselwandle eqeqeshelwe uku londoloza indal. Ngeehonours kunye nezifundo zakhe zesidanga sokuqala, wagqwesa kwi-hydrogeology. Intliziyo yakhe yabanjwa ngelixa wayefundela isidanga sakhe seMasters kwiDyunivesithi yaseKapa nokwenza imephu yamahlathi eendle aseMzantsi Afrika. Ukusukela ngoko, uye wanikela ubomi bakhe ekukhuthazeni i-ecosystem yehlathi le-kelp kwihlabathi jikelele. Ngoku usebenzela iParley for the Oceans njengomlawuli weenkqubo zaselwandle. Ngaphambili uLoyiso wayekhokele icandelo lokubek'esweni kokusingqongileyo kolwandle kunye nonxweme lwe-Kelp Blue, inkampani eselula nentsha yaseNamibia evula indlela entsha yokulima amahlathi amakhulu e-kelp kude nonxweme. EMzantsi Afrika, usebenze kwiZiko loMzantsi Afrika leSizwe leZityalo ezahlukeneyo zeNdalo (i-SANBI) phantsi koqeqesho lwesazi ngebhayoloji esaziwayo saselwandle uNjingalwazi Kerry Sink. Waqala njengomncedisi wophando e-SANBI kwaye waqhubela phambili waba yingcali yebhayoloji esakhulayo yaselwandle kunye nemodeli yenkqubo yendalo yaselwandle. Imephu yakhe yekelp ebanzi kwaye engaguqukiyo yaba sisixhobo sokuqala ukuqukwa kwamahlathi e-kelp kuvavanyo lwesizwe lwendalo eyohlukeneyo. Ukuthanda kwakhe isikali phakathi kolwazi lomthonyama nenzululwazi kumenza ahluke kwisihlwele. Udibanisa isayensi, ukubaliswa kwamabali, kunye ne-media advocacy ukwenza ityala ngokubaluleka kwamahlathi e-kelp yehlabathi kunye nezoyikiso ezijongene nazo. Isijikelezi-langa sethu sahlukene, kwaye kufuneka ngokunjalo izixhobo esizisebenzisayo ukubuyisela ulungelelwaniso kunye nokukhusela ikhaya lethu elinye.
