I have 25+ years of experience working on fisheries projects and have an extensive knowledge of the Scottish fishing industry, working both with the Fisheries Industry Science Initiative and local fishers.

I have recently been working on projects on razor-clam stock assessment and survival of discarded Nephrops from trawlers operating in the Minches and Firth of Forth.

I also evaluate data requirements for improving inshore fisheries management which involves close collaboration with the Inshore Fisheries Groups in the Clyde and Moray Firth.

I have also written and contributed to numerous technical reports including peer-review of fish biology and fisheries aspects of Environmental Impact Assessments.
