Multidisciplinary Approaches towards the Effective Management of Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing in Large Scale Marine Protected Areas

I am a marine conservation scientist with my research mainly focussed on investigating methods of tracking global fishing activity to monitor ecological impacts. I am interested in how remote sensing and data science can be used to inform ocean management and have also been involved in the satellite tracking of basking sharks and tuna in UK waters and creating quantitative assessments of ocean health.
