Dr. Madeline Green is a marine scientist specializing in fisheries genomics, forensic science, and conservation. She is the Principal Investigator of the Forensic Fisheries Lab at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS), where she leads research on molecular surveillance, seafood traceability, and catch reconstruction to improve fisheries management and combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. 

Madeline earned her PhD from the University of Tasmania in 2019, where she studied the movement ecology and population genetics of sharks and rays across the Indo-Pacific. With over a decade of experience, her expertise spans population genetics, phylogenetics, and forensic tools for fisheries monitoring. Her research integrates environmental DNA (eDNA) and other molecular techniques to track seafood supply chains, estimate fisheries landings, and monitor bycatch in commercial fisheries. 

Her work also focuses on elasmobranch (shark and ray) conservation, genetic connectivity, and population dynamics to support more effective fisheries management. Passionate about integrating genetic technologies into fisheries policy and monitoring programs, Madeline’s research provides innovative solutions to assess and sustain global fish stocks.
