Senior Research Assistant, Marine Ecology, Marine Biological Association

I am a marine ecologist at the Marine Biological Association (UK). My research focusses on restoration, cultivation and harvesting management of marine resources, such as kelp forests.

With a keen interest in applied research outcomes, I work closely with industry partners. My work also explores how benthic ecosystems respond to environmental change, such as climate change and marine heat waves, and seeks solutions to improve marine stewardship.

I hold a Master’s in Research degree in Marine Biology, commercial boating and scientific diving qualifications.
