  • Etymology: "Named after Isobel Ida Bennett (1909−2008), an Australian biologist and conservationist. Isobel Bennett co-authored and illustrated Australian Seashores (1952), which became a landmark textbook that was both influential in educating the general public about local seashores, and also inspired generations of marine scientists. Isobel Bennett’s research was often self-funded and spanned decades, covering the entire span of the Great Barrier Reef(2 000 km in length). Her subsequent publications, The Great Barrier Reef (1971) and A Coral Reef Handbook (1978), led to the recognition of the Great Barrier Reef as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980. In 1984, Isobel Bennett was awarded the Order of Australia for services to marine biology. While reflecting on her life saying, she is quoted as saying “I never married. Although there were several opportunities, it wasn’t the right man. Had I married I probably wouldn’t have been able to do many of the things I’ve done”."
