Personal profile

Biography

I am a marine ecologist and fisheries biologist at Macquarie University, where I lead the Marine Ecology Group (MEG). I have over 30 years of experience assessing the healthy functioning of our oceans and understanding the human-induced challenges they face.  My research group and I have a particular focus on threatened species and biodiversity, and on optimising recreational and commercial fishing practices to maximise the sustainability of species and maintain resilient systems.  We have a particular focus on sharks and rays, and on sea cucumbers.  I also have experience in aquaculture of a diversity of marine species, from barramundi to sea urchins.

I Chair the NSW Fisheries Scientific Committee and sit on the Scientific Advisory Committee for the Sydney Institute of Marine Science.  I am also a member of the Technical Advisory Panel for Plastic Oceans Australasia and am an editor for the journals Frontiers in Marine Science, Oceans and Remote Sensing.
