Profile

I am a marine conservationist working across a number of topics, including the designation and implementation of effective MPAs management, and marine plastic pollution in both urban and remote areas.

I provided project management and technical expertise to the Darwin-funded plastics project, investigating the impact of ocean plastic pollution on nesting turtles in the region surrounding the Chagos Archipelago and reducing the amount of single-use plastic used on Diego Garcia.

The ocean provides us with every second breath we take – it’s the most under-valued asset humanity has

Other interests

I’m particularly interested in fostering unique collaborations and partnerships to tackle and profile ocean threats, and using a ‘systemic change’ approach to ocean conservation challenges.

In 2016, along with Heather Koldewey and partners, I helped to co-found the #OneLess project, an experimental campaign working to eradicate the need for single-use plastic water bottles from London and reduce London’s plastic pollution footprint on the ocean. We’re now using learnings from the #OneLess project to help reduce the use of single-use plastic on Diego Garcia, lowering waste and transforming DG into a more environmentally sustainable island.
