Silvia Maciá (born 1972) is an American marine biologist and professor of biology at Barry University in Miami Shores, FL. Courses she has taught include marine biology, oceanography, tropical marine ecosystems, ecology, environmental science and botany.
Her research interests include pipefish mating behavior, seagrass community ecology, coral reef grazing ecology and seagrass restoration. Her research involves both laboratory and field work.
Maciá is perhaps best noted for her discovery that Caribbean reef squid (Sepioteuthis sepioidea) can fly. She and her biologist husband Michael Robinson were boating on the north coast of Jamaica when she spotted something fly out of the water. She initially thought they were flying fish but after watching for a few seconds, she realized they were squid.
