The impact of human activity on our marine ecosystems has become more evident and high profile in recent years, such as from overfishing, habitat destruction, pollution, coastal development, plastics and climate change. So what do we do about it – how can we preserve and recover marine habitats and species populations while also allowing sustainable use and exploitation of our seas?
Candidates will require an appropriate background in primarily a biological, marine and environmental sciences degree to honours level at good 2:1 (65% or above). Applications are also considered from well-qualified graduates in other disciplines with relevant experience or interests.
