Elasmobranch and Teleost Ecology
Elasmobranchs are key predators, that help maintain marine ecosystem balance. Studying their behaviour, migration, and breeding allows us to identify critical habitats and design effective conservation strategies. This knowledge also helps mitigate human impacts, ensuring these species' survival and our oceans' health.
Elasmobranchs - Sharks, Skates and Rays
Teleosts - Bony Fish
Teleosts, or bony fish, are vital components of marine ecosystems, contributing to biodiversity and supporting fisheries. Studying their life cycles, habitats, and interactions within the ecosystem helps understand human impacts such as overfishing and habitat degradation to try and ensure sustainable fisheries and the overall health of marine environments.
Underwater Exploration
Technical diving and exploring the unknown
Advanced technology and skills
Collaboration is key! Utilising expertise in remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and technical diving methods to explore the lesser-known areas of the ocean
To enhance our understanding of these unknown areas and highlight their importance and vulnerability to the ever-increasing anthropogenic threats
Diving for discovery
I have an inherent desire to explore uncharted or unknown underwater territories. Not only to map the ecosystem and reveal different species but to understand the ecology and interconnectivity in lesser-known regions and across the mesophotic zone
