Episode 10: Marlee Hutton
Marlee is a Bardi Jawi women and the Regional Ecologist for the Kimberley Land Council based out of Broome. She works closely with KLC Ranger teams to monitor culturally and scientifically significant species, broker science partnerships, build ranger capacity and inform land management.
Before her time with the KLC, Marlee worked with CSIRO with a research focus on Indigenous coastal development, citizen science and west Australian Dugong populations. Having grown up in the Kimberley, Marlee has a strong understanding of challenges faced by people living remote who want to achieve higher level education or pursue careers in the STEM industry.
Marlee is passionate about promoting environmental science careers amongst Indigenous people, hoping to one day have higher numbers of Indigenous scientists in the industry.
