![]() The Unnatural History of the Sea (Island Press) charts the effects of 1000 years of exploitation on ocean life. ![]() We also provided the scientific underpinning for a new ocean protection target – 30% marine protected areas by 2030 – which is gaining widespread support as a follow on to the UN 10% by 2020 target. My research group designed half a million square kilometres of marine protection in the North Atlantic that was established by OSPAR in 2010. My main interests include documenting the impacts of fishing on marine life, both historic and modern, and exploring the theory and practical effectiveness of marine protected areas for conservation and fisheries management.įor the last few decades I have used science to make the case for stronger protection for marine life at both national and international levels. ![]() My research focuses on threats to marine ecosystems and species and on finding the means to protect them. ![]() I am Professor of Marine Conservation in the Centre for Ecology and Conservation at the University of Exeter's Cornwall campus. ![]()
