Luke Pen

Luke J Pen (1960–2002[1][2]) was a biologist and environmental scientist in Western Australia.

He researched and wrote about rivers and their biology and management, in the south west of Western Australia.[3][4]

A memorial walk path on the Kalgan River commemorates his efforts and work to raise interest and knowledge in local rivers.[5]

In 2008 a memorial scholarship in his name was created to support students of riverine environments in their research.[6]
