Ecology and Conservation
Image: Phil Doherty
We have fundamental expertise across the breadth of the discipline in behavioural, population, community and evolutionary ecology. We engage with pressing conservation issues including fisheries, the impacts of pollution, invasive species and climate change.
Work also looks at solutions including marine protected areas, bycatch mitigation, sustainable aquaculture and renewable energy. We have particular strengths in marine megafauna ecology, migratory species and coral reef systems.
Researchers combine laboratory, desk and modelling studies with field work carried out globally in marine ecosystems from the tropics to the poles.
Much of our work is carried out in conjunction with governments, NGOs and communities at home and abroad.
This group includes academics from Biosciences, Centre for Ecology and Conservation (CEC), The Centre for Geography and Environmental Science, Environment and Sustainability Institute (ESI), European Centre for Environment and Human Health (ECEHH), Geography, and Psychology.
