Maddison E Brown 2024 Australian Marine Sciences Association Annual Meeting combined with NZMSS

Maddison E Brown

Maddison Brown is a marine ecologist and PhD candidate at The University of Queensland, School of The Environment. Maddison is conducting a PhD on coastal marine restoration opportunities in south-east Queensland. She will use spatial analyses and habitat suitability models to prioritise restoration sites for carbon storage and various ecosystem services. The outcomes of the project will be aimed at supporting the development of decision support models which can be used to help scale and direct restoration of marine coastal ecosystems, including wetlands, mangroves and saltmarshes. Successful restoration at scale holds the potential to act as a Nature-based Solution to climate change while providing co-benefits such as fishery habitat, nutrient cycling, cultural benefits and coastal protection.
