On a collaborative project between Monash University and Phillip Island Nature Parks, I am using these data to explore different spatial conservation prioritisation scenarios that allow protecting key little penguins’ foraging areas, while minimizing conflicts with human uses that occur in those places.

My Honours project will be investigating how the diet of little penguins has changed over a 16-year period in response to environmental variation, and the ecological implications that it may have on the population. I’m doing this study in the mega-colony at Phillip Island near Melbourne and my project is co-supervised by Associate Professor Andre Chiaradia from Phillip Island Nature Parks.
