Heather O'Keefe Email & Phone Number

I am currently pursuing an MRes in Marine Biology at the University of Plymouth and the Marine Biological Association. Before this, I worked as a Support Biologist at the National Marine Aquarium. I was primarily involved with the husbandry of native British species as well as tropical and temperate corals. I also led the culture of zooplankton as live food for several breeding efforts including lined seahorses (Hippocampus erectus) and common clownfish (Amphirion ocellaris). I graduated from the University of Plymouth in 2022 with a first class honours degree in BSc Ocean Science and Marine Conservation. My dissertation project investigated the effects of various live zoo and phytoplankton diets on the growth and resilience of Acropora microclados.
