I am conducting consulting work in Hawaii and always looking for interesting projects here, or elsewhere. Please contact me to discuss possible projects.
My expertise is multidisciplinary but mainly falls into the fields of marine ecology and conservation, invasion biology, oceanography, community ecology, evolutionary biology, and limnology. Research questions of interest are both applied and theoretical. I have conducted research in Africa, Australia, Canada, U.S., and the Galapagos including manipulative field experiments complimented with broad-scale surveys to test theory and better understand drivers of large-scale patterns in nature. I endeavor to identify important biotic and abiotic factors controlling the diversity of an ecosystem in order to better inform managers and policy-makers. My research to date has focused on monitoring, managing and modeling the spread of invasive species. Invasive species are a global, daunting problem causing over $120 billion dollars of damage, each year, in the US alone. They are one of the leading causes for biodiversity loss and the number of invaders exponentially increases each year. I focus on marine invasive species, as marine invasion biology lags behind its counterparts in terrestrial and aquatic systems. I have used the Asian shore crab (Hemigrapsus sanguineus) and European green crab (Carcinus maenas) as model organisms. This research was mainly conducted from New Jersey to Maine, USA. More recently, I expanded my research to tunicates by studying the invasion of the vase tunicate (Ciona intestinalis), which threatens the multimillion dollar mussel industry of Prince Edward Island, Canada. I also studied the biology, ecology, and conservation of sharks, rays, and skates in South Africa and manta rays, nudibranchs, and ecotourism in Mozambique.

SHARKS: My current research interests are topics in the field of marine biology and conservation. I am currently focusing on the biology, ecology, and conservation of elasmobranch fishes (sharks, rays and skates), applied fisheries biology, and physiological ecology of fishes. More specifically: 1) tracking the abundance and residency of white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) and bull sharks (Carcharinus leucas) using acoustic telemetry and photo identification; 2) devising strategies to reduce the mortality of released elasmobranch fishes by recreational fishermen and discarded bycatch in commercial fishing operations; 3) documenting diurnal and weekly movement patterns of C. carcharias; and 4) identifying ways to minimize human-shark interactions by understanding the patterns of daily activities for both groups. This information will further research on the species and guide management of elasmobranch fishes, which is critically important since tens of millions are killed every year for consumptive (e.g., meat, shark fin cartilage) and non-consumptive reasons (e.g., their jaws, teeth, or simply a picture of them). Therefore my research answers both pure and applied research question and directly relates to a current global environmental problem.
CORAL REEF FISH: Sustainable fisheries management is key to restoring and maintaining ecological function and benefits to people, but it requires accurate information about patterns in resource use, particularly fishing pressure. In most coral reef fisheries and other data-poor contexts, obtaining such information is challenging and remains an impediment to effective management. We developed the most comprehensive regional view of shore-based fishing effort and catch for the Hawaiian Islands to show detailed fishing patterns from across the main Hawaiian Islands (MHI). We reveal these regional patterns through fisher “creel” surveys conducted through collaborative efforts by local communities, state agencies, academics, and environmental organizations, at 18 sites and comprising >10,000 hr of monitoring across a range of habitats and human influences throughout the MHI. Here, we document spatial patterns in nearshore fisheries catch, effort, catch rates (i.e., catch-per-unit-effort [CPUE]), and catch disposition (i.e.,use of fish after catch is landed). Line fishing was consistently the most commonly employed gear type (94%), followed by net fishing. The most efficient gear types (i.e., higher CPUE) were spear (0.64 kg hr-1), followed closely by net (0.61 kg hr-1), with CPUE for line (0.16 kg hr-1) 3.9 times lower than spear and 3.7 times lower than net. Creel surveys also reveal rampant illegal fishing activity across the studied locations. Surprisingly, overall, most of the catch was not sold, but rather retained for home consumption or given away to extended family, which indicates that cultural and food security may be stronger drivers of fishing effort than commercial exploitation for nearshore coral reef fisheries in Hawai‘i. Increased monitoring of spatial patterns in nearshore fisheries can inform targeted management, in order to maintain these fisheries for local communities’ food security, cultural, and ecological value.

CRABS: As widely
distributed organisms, Carcinus maenas
and Hemigrapsus sanguineus were
logical choices for this new type of study and
validation towards yielding the data needed for
the progress of marine invasion ecology.
Carcinus maenas has invaded the coasts of
North America, South Africa, Australia, South
America and other places outside of its native
range of the Atlantic coast of Europe and possibly
northwest Africa. Carcinus maenas was
presumably brought to the Atlantic coast of North
America, in 1817, with solid ballast. By 1989, it
started colonizing the Pacific coast of North
America starting in San Francisco Bay. It was
transported accidentally from the east coast by
activities associated with the live food and bait
trade. Establishment and persistence in these
various environments is likely facilitated by its
omnivorous feeding strategy and its ability
to tolerate a wide range of temperatures and
salinities. A single brood of C. maenas
can contain 185,000 - 250,000 eggs. High
fecundity and the characteristics of a generalist
allow C. maenas to inhabit a diverse
range of marine ecosystems and therefore, reduce
beta-diversity.

Similarly,
H. sanguineus is a generalist, an
omnivore, and a highly invasive brachyuran crab.
Hemigrapsus sanguineus is native to the
western Pacific but has colonized multiple
locations in Europe and during 1988 it was first
detected on the eastern coast of North America, in
New Jersey. Traffic of foreign cargo vessels was
presumably the vector that brought the Asian shore
crab to North America. In its native range, H.
sanguineus inhabits waters that range from
above 30 to below 5 oC. With a high fecundity in
the form of multiple broods of up to 60,000 eggs
each breeding season, H. sanguineus has
expanded its invasive range along the eastern
coast of the United States, and has colonized from
Oregon Inlet, North Carolina to Schoodic
Peninsula, Maine.
