Samantha Crisp

Honours Student

Sam considers herself extremely lucky to have been raised in the small coastal town of Esperance, Western Australia, where her life inevitably revolved around the ocean. She had first-hand experience with local environmental issues from an early age and broadened her awareness of challenges involving environmental management, via travel abroad. With marine conservation as her passion, she commenced her Bachelor of Advanced Science (Marine Biology) at James Cook University, in 2018. After graduating in 2021, Sam completed her Honours, investigating phase shifts on coral reefs under the supervision of David Bellwood and Sterling Tebbett.
