Isabelle M. Côté is a professor of marine ecology at Simon Fraser University in Canada.
Côté is from Montreal, Quebec. She received her B.Sc. in marine biology from McGill University in 1984, her M.Sc. in zoology from the University of Alberta in 1987, [1] and her Ph.D. in behavioral ecology from the University of Toronto in 1993. In 2023 she was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada [2]. Her research is notable for its impact on coral reef conservation.
Côté pioneered the use of meta-analyses in marine conservation. Her research has addressed the extent of coral reef declines in the Caribbean at a regional level, [3] and measured the effectiveness of marine protected areas at enhancing fish and their habitats. Côté and coauthors demonstrated that protected areas were not necessarily more resistant to climate change. [4] [5] Her recent research has focused on the dramatic invasion of Indo-Pacific lionfish throughout the Caribbean, with a focus on sub-tidal research. [6] [7] [8]
Previously, she was a faculty member at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, UK.
Côté has published over 200 academic publications on behavioural ecology, coral reef ecology, and conservation, receiving over 20,000 citations, resulting in an h-index and i10-index of 67 and 200 respectively. [9] Côté has spoken about different aspects of marine conservation for different media outlets, including CBC News. [10]
