Biography

I am an environmental geographer who specialises in coastal and marine resource management. I am particularly interested in coastal hazard risk management, the institutional and policy frameworks for coastal management, stakeholder networks and public participation, environmental education and interpretation and sustainable development.

I am also interested in the role of museums and other heritage attractions in relation to the public’s understanding of environmental and sustainability issues.

I am an officer on the Coastal and Marine Working Group of the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers).

I am on the Editorial Board of Marine Policy.

Previous to my current position I was the Senior Specialist (Environment) at the National Maritime Museum (NMM).
