Kathy Cure
Australian Institute of Marine Science
Kathy Cure is a Fish Ecologist at the Australian Institute of Marine Science in Perth, WA. She is originally from Colombia and has worked with fish, fisheries and monitoring in coral reefs across the Indo-Pacific and Caribbean. Kathy’s work to date has centred on the responses of reef fishes to changing environments, focusing on invasive species and the impacts of climate change on species distributions. She is also passionate about communications and design, and served as the “Lateral Lines” editor for the Australian Society for Fish Biology (2017-2020). She is currently working on monitoring with Indigenous Ranger groups using baited remote underwater video systems (BRUVS), as well as trying to understand oil and gas infrastructure as a habitat for fish communities in the Bass Strait. Kathy would love to re-join the ASFB Executive as a State Representative for Western Australia, and help empower the next generations of fish and fisheries scientists in Australia.
