Biography
Dr. Schuhbauer has been part of the Fisheries Economic Research Unit since 2012. Her expertise in the field of fisheries spans from transdisciplinary research approaches to developing high-level theoretical research frameworks. Her work predominantly focuses on socio-economics and social-ecology, addressing both practical and theoretical aspects of fisheries. During the almost 15 years of her career, she has mainly focussed on small-scale fisheries related work, in both academic, NGO and government environments, at the local and at the global scale.
Anna holds a master’s degree in aquatic ecology from the University of Bremen, Germany and a PhD in fisheries economics from UBC. She has worked and lived in Peru, the Falkland Island, the Galapagos Islands and Mexico before moving to British Columbia, Canada.
