LuLu Lacy
LuLu recently completed their PhD with the Tropical Rivers Lab in 2025. They have studied many aquatic and marine ecosystems in the Southeastern US and Latin America, and have a strong interest in tropical fisheries, fish migration, and deconstructing our post-colonial relationship with waterways. Lulu’s graduate research examined Amazon fish migration as a social, cultural, and ecological process. In this research, Lulu used a co-production approach and visual methodologies to understand the seasonality of fish migrations, with a focus on the Lagos de Yahuarcaca in the Colombian Amazon.
Active Projects:
Fish Migration as a Social-Ecological Process
Using participatory and biocultural approaches, this project involves working with riparian human communities, particularly Indigenous fishers, to co-produce a seasonal calendar as a tool to explore social-ecological rhythms and change in the Lagos de Yahuarcaca, Colombian Amazon.
