Marine protection policy • Antarctic toothfish • Coral reef ecology
I'm interested in how biology and storytelling contribute to effective conservation policies.
- Comparing two methods for aging Antarctic toothfish from the Ross Sea, Antarctica, as part the Brooks Lab larger toothfish population dynamics analyses.
- Studying UNEA Resolution 5/14 “End plastic pollution: Towards an international legally binding instrument”
- Also interested in benthic ecology conservation, ISA policy, commercial fishing gear regulations, coral conservation and nature bonds.
