Professor Judith Gobin, is a Professor of Marine Biology and an internationally recognized marine scientist with a career spanning more than 38 years.
She has made significant contributions to the knowledge of marine biodiversity in Trinidad and Tobago and the Caribbean, in soft coastal marine sediment, rocky shores and more recently deep-sea areas. Gobin has been making marine scientific interventions and continues to contribute globally to the negotiations for an international legally binding instrument, under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ).
As a UWI Lecturer for the past 21 years, she is especially proud of the positive impact she continues to have on young scientists – both women and men!
