Felix was a Senior Research Associate in the Political Ecology group at Lancaster University’s Environment Centre. Felix examined the financing and governance of fisheries in West Africa, investigating the flow of finance and the complex global and local actors and incentives behind the expansion of the fishmeal and fish oil industry in the region; and the resulting impacts, including on the (un)availability of fish in local markets, livelihoods and other evolving socioeconomic dynamics.
