I am a marine ecologist focused on understanding the ecology of reef and open-ocean shark and fish assemblages and the way in which their status reflects anthropogenic impacts and management responses. Key to my lab’s vision is a multidisciplinary approach to marine conservation centred on a diverse repertoire of field and analysis techniques, from baited remote underwater video systems (BRUVS), to acoustic and satellite tagging, trophic analyses, behavioural studies, or predictive model buidling, e.g. of the influence of ocean bathymetry on pelagic species. Our scope is international, with ongoing programs in Australia, the Chagos Archipelago and New Caledonia.
