Scholar-generated biography
Rebecca L. Morris is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Melbourne, specializing in marine ecology, urban ecology, ecological engineering, and restoration. Her research focuses on integrating ecological principles with the design of marine infrastructure to enhance biodiversity and coastal resilience. She investigates the efficacy of eco-engineering solutions for nature-based coastal defense, such as oyster reefs and seawalls, and evaluates their impact on sedimentary habitats and fish assemblages. Morris also explores the role of kelp beds and mangrove forests in coastal protection and the application of management tools to achieve conservation and restoration outcomes through ecologically beneficial aquaculture.
