In recognition of World Oceans Day, meet Australia Awards alumnus Maria-Goretti Muavesi.
Maria studied a Master of Fisheries Policy at the University of Wollongong in 2018.
She manages the Environmental Law Program at International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Oceania, where she coordinates dialogue on regional issues, such as ocean policies, the establishment of marine protected areas, marine spatial planning as well as reviewing local laws to ensure they align with international law and Multilateral Environmental Agreements.
Maria credits her scholarship for giving her the confidence and strategic ability to drive change for Fiji and the Pacific region!
