Shinae Montie is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Western Australia. Her research investigates the impacts of marine heatwaves and climate change on coastal marine ecosystems, with a strong focus on algal assemblages and seagrass meadows. She studies foundation species that provide myriad ecosystem services essential for maintaining entire communities. A key area of her interest is the process of facilitation and how climate changes and extreme events impact crucial trophic linkages between primary producers and higher-order consumers, potentially causing widespread effects on marine food webs. By employing an interdisciplinary approach, her highly collaborative work integrates field observations, experimental manipulations, and geospatial analysis methods. The central aim of her research is to elucidate strategies to bolster the resilience of ecologically vital coastal ecosystems in the face of environmental change, with the goal of informing adaptive management practices that sustain key ecological functions in marine habitats for the future. Her expertise aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in relation to marine ecology.
