Profile

Ben is a marine ecologist with expertise in the fields of ecological restoration, conservation biology, fish biology and ecology, and fisheries.

His research focuses on optimising the ways in which we manage, conserve, and restore ecosystems for greatest ecological, social and economic outcomes.

Ben’s aim is to disentangle the multiple sources of ecosystem variability and disturbance, with a view to optimising ecosystem management, restoration and conservation in multiple settings.
