Background

I am a marine ecologist who has used macroecological and modelling approaches to help understand what holds marine ecosystems together. A principal focus has been on coral and temperate reefs, and recent projects included reef fish-habitat relationships (Caribbean), hydrothermal vent food webs (Southern Ocean), fisheries extinctions (Philippines), climate change effects on Arctic fishes (Barents Sea) and sustainability issues in fisheries (North Sea). This work long had a societal and environmental conservation purpose, relating to issues of biodiversity conservation, climate change impacts, food security and sustainability. My public outreach includes editing an international environmental science journal ().

Research

My research focused on food-webs and their structure, predator-prey effects including trophic cascades and human impacts on these such as through fishery exploitation. I made major contributions to (i) analysing the trophic ecology of fish and fisheries beginning with work in the mid-1980s on Coral Sea and later on Mediterranean reefs (ii) exploring ecological effects of marine protected areas starting with projects in the Caribbean in the early 1990s (iii) measuring fishing pressure and climate change effects on coral reef community structure particularly since work in the Pacific and Indian Oceans from the mid-1990s and (iv) the macroecology of the NE of England from the late 2000s.
