Experienced in delivering marine, freshwater, and terrestrial services, Elly undertakes field investigations and ecological assessments that support project planning, impact assessment, approvals and construction delivery.
Elly’s terrestrial work includes biodiversity assessment method (BAM) surveys, vegetation integrity plots, habitat assessments, and targeted threatened species surveys. She applies fauna survey techniques including spotlighting, acoustic detection, pitfall trapping, camera trapping and cage trapping. Pre-clearance surveys, supervision of vegetation clearing and post-clearance monitoring are also part of her expertise.
Across aquatic environments, Elly undertakes freshwater, estuarine and nearshore marine surveys. This involves operating remotely operated vehicles and electrofishing systems, mapping benthic habitats, assessing aquatic habitats, and identifying intertidal species.
Away from her ecology work, Elly enjoys surfing, bushwalking, hiking and horse riding.
