Marisa (she/her/hers) is a postdoctoral scholar investigating the environmental and economic costs of plastic pollution and marine debris in the United States. Prior to graduate school, she worked as a scientific diver to help manage invertebrate fisheries off the coast of California. Her doctoral work assessed Palmyra Atoll’s communities (terrestrial arthropods and parasites in marine fish) to understand how species distributions changed with scale. She also focused on using Bayesian techniques to account for imperfect detection in community surveys. Marisa completed a Ph.D.
