Rebecca Dobbs is a Research Fellow at the University of Western Australia, specializing in freshwater ecology with a focus on tropical and temperate river systems. Her research employs aquatic fauna such as macroinvertebrates and fish to assess aquatic health and the drivers of ecological change. With over 15 years of experience planning and coordinating research projects in riverine landscapes across Western Australia, she emphasizes the importance of integrating Indigenous knowledge systems for sustainable management practices. Currently, Dobbs leads a project to develop an Indigenous wetland monitoring toolkit aimed at empowering Indigenous rangers and aligning monitoring protocols with local cultural contexts. She collaborates with Indigenous ranger groups in the Kimberley region to ensure that necessary monitoring and management strategies respect traditional ecological knowledge. Her work also addresses the ecological impacts of climate change on northern Australian river systems and has contributed to various essential initiatives, including the development of tools for biodiversity monitoring and education in environmental management.
