Biography

Martin is an experienced marine ecologist and is the science manager for the King Edward Point Research Station. Martin returned to BAS in 2019 after 10 years away. During that time Martin served as the Chief Executive and Director of Fisheries for the Government of South Georgia & the South Sandwich Islands (2009-2015) and also as the Director of the Blue Belt Programme at the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Sciences (2016-2018). Martin has considerable experience of working on and around South Georgia and during his time with GSGSSI oversaw the creation of the Marine Protected Area, the eradication of reindeer from the island and was on the steering committee for the rodent eradication. Martin was awarded an OBE in the New Year Honours (2014) for services to science and conservation on South Georgia. Martin is also an Adjunct (Honorary) Professor at University College Cork, Ireland.
