We research social, economic and policy issues in nature conservation, wildlife management and natural resources management and sustainability.

Our major research areas span marine and coastal policy through to environmental planning:

  • large landscape (seascape) scale
  • conservation networks – their governance and community engagement
  • marine and coastal policy, planning and management
  • environmental sustainability
  • management
  • human dimensions of wildlife
