Rachael’s publications span social science, marine ecology and applied industry research, including reports on carbon and sustainability in aquaculture. Publications prior to 2014 were published under her maiden name, Rachael Middlebrook. Together, they reflect her focus on connecting science with practical environmental management and decision-making.
