You’ll conduct fieldwork, analyse data, and collaborate with other scientists to address environmental issues and ensure the sustainability of aquatic ecosystems.

Aquatic Ecologists play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of aquatic environments. You’ll need to be analytical and detail-oriented, with strong skills in data collection and environmental assessment. Effective communication with stakeholders and commitment to conservation efforts are essential in this role.
