Biography

Biography

I am postdoctoral research fellow with extensive experience of marine monitoring including scientific dive surveys, baited remote underwater video (BRUV) and remotely operated vehicles (ROV). I am currently working on the FISP project Angling for sustainability. I previously worked on the Interreg FISH INTEL project which aimed to support ecosystem based fisheries management across the Channel. I am part of the Emma Sheehan fish telemetry team and have my PIL fish tagging license. My previous research has focused on investigating the impacts of artificial structures on marine environments and exploring ways to enhance biodiversity.
