Investigating shark distributions to inform conservation strategies and mitigate human-shark conflict in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).
Lucy is a PhD student based between The Centre for Ecology and Conservation at Exeter University and Zoological Society of London. Her PhD is funded though The NERC GW4+ and explores the factors that drive shark distributions at Ascension Island at a range of spatial and temporal scales, to provide insight into the dynamic processes that affect marine predator distributions, as well as informing shark conflict management in one of the world’s largest Marine Protected Areas.
