She leads a research program that looks into the impacts of climate change on seaweed forests and seagrass meadows and restoration approaches for their conservation. She also leads restoration projects Operation Crayweed and Operation Posidonia.  You can find Adriana at the University of NSW and Sydney Institute of Marine Science .
