About Ashlie Jane Mcivor
I am a marine ecologist (BSc, MSc) who specialises in non-invasive research to promote the recovery of marine megafauna species (think mammals, sharks, and stingrays).
I have just submitted my doctoral thesis (September 2023) to the University of Lisbon (FCUL), where my PhD research focused on identifying conservation priorities of marine top predators in oceanic islands to help inform spatial management and planning. In the context of academia, I am particularly interested in endangered species research by use of telemetry, environmental modelling, and non-invasive technologies.
I am now moving into a marine management role taking me from research into conservation science and practice of marine mammals, sharks and rays of the Red Sea.
