Lauren Thornton
Fisheries Research and Development Corporations (FRDC)
Extension Officer for NT

The Northern Territory has unique people, culture, and environments, which makes it important to have an NT Extension Officer on the ground to address research priorities and concerns.

I aim to provide suitable and easy to understand information and support to stakeholders.  I have experience with cross cultural community engagement and a passion for capability and capacity-building across all fisheries sectors, particularly women and Indigenous enterprises.
