Summary

I am a conservation biologist focusing on anthropogenic threats to marine megafauna. My conservation biology work has focused on establishing baselines in understudied populations of threatened species, specifically manta rays, and evaluating persistent threats, focusing on plastic marine debris. My work to date is in the academic and NGO sphere and calls upon the flagship species approach to conservation and citizen science to amass data, raise awareness and provide recommendations for megafauna management and threat mitigations, especially marine debris.
