Biography

Much of my current research and teaching is focussed on the impact of environmental change on inshore marine ecosystems and marine conservation.

When not on the water in the context of my research I am often to be found in a kayak or sailing dinghy!

Research

My work is associated with the impact of environmental change and approaches to marine conservation. This includes responses to the creation and management of Marine Protected Areas, ecotoxicology, the ecology and management of marine invasive species, the sensitive design of new structures to increase marine biodiversity, and the impact of climate change on inshore marine ecosystems.

Current Projects include: Long term change of climate indicator species in the English Channel, invasion biology and colonisation of novel structures. I also lead the BU partnership for two EU Interreg projects: 3DPARE, the design, deployment and monitoring of 3D-printed artificial reefs and MARINEFF, the creation of biomimetic marine infrastructure.

I have students investigating the impact of a variety of disturbances on the coastal food web. These include the impact of wild settlement of the invasive Pacific oyster (Magallana (Crassostrea) gigas) on intertidal ecosystems, the impact of fisheries and recreational disturbances on invertebrates and coastal birds within protected areas, and the ecology and impact of inshore structures and artificial reefs.
