For those of you who don’t know me yet, I’m Emma, an applied aquatic biologist from Victoria, BC, Canada, currently based in Europe while completing my master’s degree in marine biology.

My background is rooted in coastal and riparian ecology on the West Coast of Canada, where I have worked in both lab and field settings on Pacific salmon, stickleback fishes, and pteropods. Growing up on an island surrounded by the ocean shaped my love for intertidal ecosystems, salmon streams, coastal forests, and the species that depend on them.

More recently, my work has taken me to Norway, where my master’s thesis focuses on predator activity in seabird colonies. This project has given me the opportunity to begin pursuing a long-standing interest in seabird ecology and conservation.
