Samantha looked at how climatic disruptions affect grazing and herbivory rates on coral reefs, and exploring bottom-up drivers to changes to fish abundance and distribution, for her PhD research at Lancaster University. The project was funded by the BNP Paribas and was part of the REEF Services project conducted through Le Centre de Recherches Insulaires et Observatoire de l’Environnement (CRIOBE) in Moorea, French Polynesia. Samantha was supervised by Prof Nick Graham (LEC) and Dr Valeriano Parravicini (EPHE).
