Rhagolwg
I gained my undergraduate degree in Marine Sciences in 1995 (Southampton) and an MSc in Ecosystems Analysis and Governance at Warwick (1999). I then worked in applied marine biology globally for the next ~20 years, undertaking work such as marine ecological surveys, fisheries observing, and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) of marine developments. This included a spell in Kuwait (2001-2003) where I set up and ran marine surveys associated with Gulf War oil spills. While working I undertook a PhD by Published Works through Bangor’s School of Ocean Sciences (SOS) on the taxonomy, diversity and fisheries of the elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) of the Persian/Arabian Gulf, based on fieldwork with artisanal fisheries in Kuwait, Qatar, UAE and Bahrain. I changed career paths and made the jump to academia and SOS in 2019, working as a postdoc on the Sustainable Fisheries Wales project. I took up my lecturer role in 2024.
I am a marine ecologist whose research aims to inform the sustainable management and conservation of marine biota, particularly sharks and rays. Geographic focus spans local waters of Wales and the Irish Sea to data-poor regions (Arabia, Africa), with a focus on highly threatened and poorly-known species. My research has included rediscovery of a 'lost' shark, discovery of two stingray species, documenting regional sawfish extinction, and identifying bull shark nursery grounds. As part of the IUCN Shark Specialist Group I have contributed to Red List Assessments, global conservation initiatives and the development of Important Shark Areas. In addition to fieldwork I typically use inexpensive, alternative and opportunistic sources of data (fish markets, fishers ecological knowledge, museums, historical documents, angling records, online). I am increasingly involved in marine historical ecology, using a range of documentary sources to understand past baselines, long-term change, and to directly inform modern-day management of species.

As part of Wales’ Green Recovery, this project will address the issues of marine plastic litter and ghost fishing by developing sustainable plastic-free lobster fisheries, using natural, traditional, biodegradable materials. It builds new collaborations with technology developers and builds on existing links with the local fishing industry. This project will drive change and provide evidence by understanding barriers to change, exchanging knowledge, identifying opportunities for improvement, and testing efficiency and economic feasibility.
