Research interests
Through my research I seek to support the sustainable, equitable and just use of marine and coastal resources and space. I am interested in how information and knowledge is incorporated into decision-making and the governance of marine and coastal resources and exploring how these processes might be altered to improve outcomes for sustainability and equity.
Areas of recent interest include: the governance of deep-sea mining in the areas beyond national jurisdiction, marine biodiversity offsetting and marine no net loss, instilling equity and social justice in the blue economy and corporate engagement in marine management (e.g. social licence to operate).
