My research interests are in marine ecology and conservation, and how we can use science to support more appropriate management of marine environments. The focus of my project is investigating macrobenthic and epifaunal diversity in the soft sediment habitats around Te Hauturu-o-Toi, understanding how community structure varies in relation to habitat complexity and broad-scale environmental drivers, to determine how biodiversity affects ecosystem function. While appreciating the need for science in understanding more about the environment that surround us, my overall goal is to develop ideas that translate to the general public on the importance of ecosystems
