Ainsley Allen

Graduate Project Research -

Ainsley joins us from British Columbia, where she graduated from the University of Victoria in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science majoring in Biology. Since graduating, Ainsley has spent the majority of her time working as a Marine Biologist for a BC-based environmental consulting company. Among other projects, she has been actively involved in conducting a marine pollution risk assessment for the Pacific North Coast Integrated Management Area (PNCIMA). Interspersed with her work as a Biologist, Ainsley has acted as a Research Assistant with the Coastal Marine Research Group in Auckland, New Zealand. It was here that she studied site fidelity of common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) in the Hauraki Gulf and assisted with performing various marine mammal necropsies. Ainsley is particularly interested in the growing concern amongst the scientific community that low-frequency chronic noise generated from increased commercial shipping may have widespread ecological impacts on marine mammals. Her research at 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 will focus on the cumulative impacts of anthropogenic noise pollution on marine mammals and the adaptive management strategies employed to mitigate such impacts.

Alana Caplan Vineberg

Graduate Project Research -

Alana completed her undergraduate education in Journalism and Political Science at Concordia University in 2010. Her interest in environment and social justice issues led her to pursue a position with the Association pour la sant茅 environnementale du Qu茅bec (ASEQ), a non-governmental organization specializing in environmental health. While working with ASEQ, Alana was able to engage with the diverse challenges of running a non-profit organization from community engagement to fundraising and lobbying, and was able to participate in the development of a sustainable healthy housing project and an environmental sensitivities education project with the Universit茅 du Qu茅bec 脿 Montr茅al.

During the summer of 2012, Alana was hired as an Environmental Coordinator for a private Alberta-based minerals exploration and development company. In this position, Alana was responsible for research and coordination with environmental consultants in preparation for an upcoming Environmental Impact Assessment.

Recognizing the impact of climate change and ever increasing marine resource development, Alana decided to continue her education in the MMM program.

Sarah Chamberlain

Graduate Project Research -

Sarah Chamberlain graduated from the University of Guelph with a B. Sc. Honours in Marine and Freshwater Biology. Her interests lie in the management of the Canadian fisheries. This interest was sparked and fostered during her three summers working as a Student Technician with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. In this position Sarah gained valuable experience in the research aspects of fisheries management, specifically in habitat use and population assessments of previously exploited species in the Great Lakes. The photo of her shows her holding a 45 lb Lake Sturgeon, caught and tagged during those summers. Knowing that fisheries was an interest early in her undergraduate career allowed her to focus some of her independent research projects on various aspects of fisheries science. Her fourth year thesis project centred around Rainbow Trout nutrition in an Aquaculture context. Following graduation, Sarah moved to Victoria, BC. Here she worked at an underwater aquarium developing an education program for elementary school children and then as a Fisheries Observer in the trawl fishing fleet . She then was accepted to the Master of Marine Management program and travelled from coast to coast to attend the program as the logical next step in her career in fisheries management.

Cameron Christensen

Graduate Project Research -

Cameron Christensen was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. He graduated from York University in 2013 with a BSc (Honours) in Environmental Science and certificate in GIS/Remote Sensing systems.

Abdulraouf Hamrouni

Graduate Project Research -

Abdulraouf Hamrouni graduated in 2002 from The Academy of Maritime Studies in Libya with a Bachelor鈥檚 degree in Marine Sciences. His previous background is in Marine Navigation. He worked as a second mate on board ships, and as a result of his high ability and performance he was promoted to be a desk officer on board marine oil rig in the oil & gas field.听

He is pursuing the Master of Marine Management degree for many reasons. First, during his work experience, he became more interested in studying marine transportation and its policies as they meet his previous study. Second, he has a good practical background in the field of marine transportation and wants to know more about the theoretical aspects of this field. In addition, there is a lack of qualified people in marine management in Libya; therefore this degree will benefit both himself and his country.

Shelby McLean

Graduate Project Research -

Shelby McLean graduated with a Bachelor of Science majoring in Biology from 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 in 2013. Growing up by the coast of Prince Edward Island she was fascinated by marine life from an early age. Happy memories of exploring the shoreline influenced her decision to study Biology. During her undergraduate degree she volunteered in a lab that specialized in coastal food web ecology. Working with a multitude of different coastal ecosystems ignited her passion for coastal ecology, ultimately leading to her honours research which focused on the temperature tolerance of different Nova Scotian salt marsh meiofauna (in particular three different species of temperate foraminifera).

While already having a strong background in the science behind coastal ecology, Shelby decided to pursue a Masters in Marine Management in order to learn more about different management strategies designed to preserve and protect the coastal ecosystems that she is so passionate about.
