Sabiha's research

Sabiha’s research interests are in the economic aspects of marine and coastal environments. She obtained her PhD from Central Queensland University, Australia in 2021 and thereafter joined as a Research Officer. In her PhD, she investigated how the Queensland Government’s decision on commercial netting closure was affecting recreational fishing opportunities, nature-based tourism, and resulting economic growth in three regional areas of Queensland. Her current research at Deakin involves quantifying the willingness of the general population to pay for the restoration of coastal wetlands, and the order in which they value the ecosystem services provided by the restored ecosystems.

Sabiha is originally from Bangladesh and works as a teaching staff at Sylhet Agricultural University, Bangladesh. She has nine years of teaching and research experience in Australia and Bangladesh, where she developed her research interests in non-market valuation, environmental, resource and fisheries economic issues, cost-benefit analysis, economic impact assessment and various econometric modelling techniques.
