Melissa Abderrahim currently serves as a Marine Programme Officer at the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), where she plays a pivotal role in advancing marine and coastal conservation initiatives. With over seven years of professional experience at the intersection of science and policy, Melissa specializes in developing innovative solutions to pressing marine biodiversity challenges. Her work encompasses a broad spectrum of issues, including marine and coastal nature-based solutions (NbS) financing, biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ), and the sustainable management of marine resources.
In her current role, Melissa supports the IUCN Ocean Team’s diverse portfolio of projects, notably focusing on mangrove conservation and restoration—critical ecosystems that provide vital coastal protection, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity habitat. She is instrumental in delivering project management efforts, ensuring that initiatives are implemented efficiently and achieve measurable impact. Her technical expertise in marine surveys, GIS tools like ArcGIS, and environmental assessment underpins her ability to design and oversee effective conservation strategies. Melissa also facilitates technical workshops, policy outreach, and stakeholder engagement to foster collaboration among governments, NGOs, and local communities.
Her proficiency in environmental science, combined with her fluency in French, enhances her capacity to communicate complex scientific concepts to diverse audiences and support international negotiations on high seas governance and marine biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction. Melissa’s dedication to integrating science and policy underscores her commitment to promoting sustainable marine ecosystems and fostering partnerships that drive practical, scalable conservation solutions in a changing global climate.
