Bio
My research interests are focused on the effects of human activities on marine ecosystems and communities and how humans respond to the management measures used to restrain these activities. I graduated from Liverpool with a B.Sc. in Marine Biology in 1988 and undertook my Ph.D. in the School of Biological Sciences at Bangor, where I studied the feeding ecology of fishes and crabs. After completing my Ph.D. in 1991, I worked for the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Conwy Laboratory), where I headed a research group that examined the ecological effects of fishing and aquaculture practices on marine ecosystems. I moved to the School of Ocean Sciences in 1998, where I have continued to develop these lines of research. I gained my Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) through the University of Liverpool in 2003. In 2004 I was awarded the FSBI Medal for a distinguished contribution to fish biology and fisheries. I was awarded a Personal Chair (Marine Conservation Ecology) in 2006. Among my various roles, I am the Reviews Editor for the Journal of Fish Biology, and was recently appointed to the editorial board of the Journal of Sea Research and Fish and Fisheries, and contribute to or chair a number of stakeholder/science groups for the UK Government.
