DR ANDREW STOREY - UNIVERSITY OF WA

Dr Andrew Storey is currently an Adjunct Senior Lecturer at The University of Western Australia and Principal Consultant with Wetland Research & Management. He has worked in the UK, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and Australia, specialising in the ecology and management of tropical and temperate rivers and wetlands. He has 25 years experience in aquatic ecology and sits on a range of committees, all of which work towards the sustainable use of our aquatic resources.

Dr Storey is a member of various scientific advisory panels, including: Ord River Scientific Panel, WWF Northern Australian Rivers Project Steering Committee; W.A. Threatened Ecological Communities Scientific Panel, W.A. Freshwater Fish and Environment Reference Committee, and Recovery Teams for Threatened Ecological Communities in Yanchep and Margaret River Cave streams. He has authored over 80 project reports and 35 scientific journal articles. Currently, Dr Storey is joint coordinator of a course on River Restoration, and is guest lecturer on Environmental Water Requirements at Edith Cowan University.

Over the last 10 years he has been actively involved in research and consultancies on tropical freshwater (and marine) systems of Australia and Papua New Guinea, in particular the Fly River in PNG and rivers of the Kimberley region. His research in the Kimberley has also involved linking ecological and indigenous cultural values of river systems, with implications for the sustainable use of these systems

In March 2005 Dr. Storey was instrumental in organising and coordinating the Kununurra Cane Toad Forum along with Lee Scott-Virtue of Kimberley Specialists. He facilitated the scientific forum, presented on potential impacts of cane toads on aquatic systems, and designed programs on how to monitor impacts of cane toads on aquatic fauna.
