Zahirah Suhaimi

Zahirah is a doctoral candidate, whose work examines how environmental changes such as coastal development, climate change, and harmful algal blooms are impacting human and nonhuman communities in the Johor Straits. Working alongside marine scientists and coastal communities, Zahirah will explore how local knowledge and experience of changes to seagrass meadows, microbial ecologies, mangrove forests, and engineered hydrologies can enrich academic understanding of drastic changes in ecological states.
