Sheena Talma

Research Interests

My pronouns are she/her


I am a Seychellois marine scientist working to expand understanding of deep-sea ecosystems in the Western Indian Ocean. My work is driven by a commitment to ensuring that Seychelles and the region are active leaders in deep-sea research, rather than just participants. By combining scientific research, partnerships, and skills sharing, I hope to support evidence-based decision-making and contribute to the long-term stewardship of ocean resources.
