Marine biologist
October 5th, 2011
I studied for my PhD at Cambridge University investigating the lives and loves of a fish called the Napoleon wrasse or humphead wrasse, a rare & endangered coral reef giant. I’m now a marine science consultant specialising in the international wildlife trade, marine habitat protection and biodiversity assessment.
My studies and research have taken me around the world to Malaysian Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia, Madagascar, the Philippines, Belize, and Australia.
For the past 10 years (with my PhD somewhere in the middle) I’ve worked for various conservation groups including WWF, IUCN, TRAFFIC, and Natural England. My research has been published in peer-reviewed journals including Science, the Proceedings of the Royal Society, and Progress in Physical Geography, as well as in numerous reports.
I’m available to discuss new projects. Do please drop me a line – leave me a comment below or send me a message via my contact page.
