I am passionate about sustainable development in the marine environment. I have been extensively involved in work to support the development and implementation of marine planning and MPA planning in the UK working with Government Departments and Agencies. I am particularly interested in processes, methods and tools to support environmental decision-making including the application of concepts such as natural capital, ecosystem services and the ecosystem approach. More widely, I have also led and contributed to a large number of marine environmental impact assessments across the full range of marine industries including ports and harbours, marinas, oil and gas, cables, offshore renewables, marine aggregates and flood and coastal defence. I have company oversight for business development across all our work areas.
