Line K Bay is a biologist with a passion for biodiversity, conservation and coral reefs. She is Team Leader of the Reef Recovery, Adaptation, and Restoration team and a Principal Research Scientist and Sub Program leader of the Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program (RRAP) at the Australian Institute of Marine Sciences (AIMS). Her research group uses field and laboratory-based experiments to study how environmental and genetic factors affect the health and stress tolerance of reef-building corals and their symbionts. Line is an enthusiastic science communicator and is particularly interested in the translation of scientific knowledge to natural resource managers, policy makers and the general public. Dr. Bay received a PhD in population genetics from James Cook University (JCU), and did a post-doc with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at AIMS for which she was awarded a Queensland Smart State Fellowship.
