#139 Restoring Coral Reefs Through Collective Action with Alicia McArdle
Description
Alicia McArdle’s work in conservation has been shaped by community from the beginning.
Early in her career, not long after university, she was employed by Save Our Waterways in Brisbane, helping coordinate a project to restore an entire creek system. Local residents carried deep knowledge of their waterways, and working alongside them showed her how powerful citizen-driven stewardship can be.
That experience stayed with her, just as her first sight of the Great Barrier Reef at age twelve on Green Island did.
The colours, marine life and the fleeting shock of spotting a moray eel set her on a path toward marine biology.
