The Earth contains
an amazing assortment of biodiversity that supports a remarkable diversity of
human cultures. Both are declining at phenomenal rates, with isolated, small
and highly specialized species and cultures being among the worst affected.
Pollution, over-exploitation, climate change, urbanization and globalization
are some of the many factors to blame. The ultimate goal of my research program
is to make small but significant steps to mitigate these losses in diversity.
Through my
membership in the Memorial University Fish Evolutionary Ecology
Research Group, I conduct research that is directly related to the
conservation and productivity of fishes. I hope that this research will
indirectly contribute to the long-term existence of traditional cultures. I
