My research explores the ecology and conservation of benthic and demersal marine species, with a particular emphasis on skates and rays. I integrate technologies such as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), baited remote underwater video systems (BRUVs), and spatial modelling to identify critical habitats and assess the impacts of human activities. Current projects focus on flapper skate conservation, including bycatch mitigation, habitat mapping, and age validation, as well as emerging work on the ecological effects of marine electromagnetic fields (EMFs). I combine field ecology, fisheries science, and public engagement to inform evidence-based marine policy and spatial planning.
