Biography
Dr. Louise Teh completed her PhD in the Resource Management and Environmental Studies programme at the University of British Columbia. Her research focuses on how interactions between humans and marine ecosystems impact fisheries sustainability. Louise’s work covers global and local scales, ranging from global biodiversity assessments to socio-economic analysis of small-scale fisheries. She has a particular interest in small-scale fisheries of developing countries, and has been involved in marine conservation projects on valuing marine turtle conservation, marine protected area management, and climate change adaptation.
