Ecologist by training, with 40 years of environmental policy-making, planning and management experience in local and central government in UK, New Zealand and Zimbabwe.
Currently a Senior Marine Planner in the Marine Management Organisation. I am responsible for the provision of training and guidance to support the effective use of marine plans. I co-lead the Social Theme Group covering matters including recreation/tourism, access, historic heritage, fisheries and seascape. Supporting social benefits from England’s marine areas is my personal sector/topic responsibility. I am keen to ensure that the social pillar of sustainability is addressed as much as the economic and environmental.
