My goal is to use science to develop and implement effective conservation initiatives. Most of my work has focused on threatened marine species, particularly whale sharks, and I collaborate on manta ray and sea turtle research.

I’ve also worked on fisheries management issues, particularly as they pertain to sharks and rays, and am increasingly drawn to the conservation of iconic marine habitats.

I’ve collated all my scientific publications here on the site. All are available for download.

Like geeky animal facts and dad jokes?

I write a weekly article, just for my mailing list. They normally focus on something interesting, and possibly hilarious, that I've learnt about sharks (or other random animals) that week. There may also be groan-inducing jokes.

Real talk: there will be groan-inducing jokes.
