Mark has recently completed his PhD at Lancaster Environment Centre (LEC) funded by Envision DTP. Mark then briefly worked as a research assistant on multiple projects with Professor Christina Hicks, focusing on the importance of tropical fisheries for human nutrition. Using a range of data sources, he aimed to assess the influence of industrial fishing and informal trading and gifting networks on people’s health.
What’s next?
Mark is working for NatureScot (nature.scot) as a Marine Fisheries Sustainability Adviser. He is reviewing the interactions between fisheries and protected marine habitats and species to inform policy, balancing the Scottish Government’s biodiversity targets with the importance of fishing livelihoods.”
