Narrative

I have developed longstanding engagement with professional practitioners in marine planning and governance across a variety of scales from international to local levels. I lead a number professional bodies which provide advice and research support in this field, including, the MASTS Marine Planning and Governance Forum, and the Earth Systems Project Oceans Task Force on Coastal Communities. Through reports to government agencies and academic publications, I am influencing the design of marine planning process and work on evaluating marine planning.
