Tia Vella

Tia is currently an undergraduate student at The University of Queensland studying a Bachelor of Environmental Science, majoring in ecology and conservation. She is currently completing her honours year under the supervision of Associate Professor Carissa Klein. Originally from Melbourne, Tia grew up next to a marine sanctuary and fell in love with all things marine. Her project focuses on the accessibility of sustainable seafood around south-east Queensland, from a consumer perspective. The project involves a large survey of different establishments which sell seafood products across south-east Queensland to determine how much information consumers are given to make decisions when purchasing seafood.
