Research interests
My research interests are focused on the ‘Blue Economy’ and the human uses of marine resources - their planning, management and conservation. This includes an understanding of maritime industries (such as marine renewable energy), their impacts and the legal frameworks under which they operate (jurisdiction, law and regulation). I have worked as PI on a number of large EU funded research projects designed to increase understanding of ecosystem based management and marine planning including:
MESMA (Monitoring and Evaluation of Spatially Managed Areas) EU FP7 Funded €8m. 2010-2014
MARIBE (Marine Investment in the Blue Economy) EU H2020 Funded €2m. 2014-2017
