Biography
Tim is a marine ecologist with a long history of research of inshore marine habitats and coastal dynamics. His research has primarily focused on seagrass habitats and includes studies on resilience, recovery and reproduction, landscape effects, nursery function and connectivity. Tim has also worked extensively on fisheries research including aquaculture, fisheries production and catch efficiencies. His current projects focus on seagrass restoration where he has helped establish the Tropical Seagrass Restoration lab, drivers of seagrass change and fisheries habitat interactions. Tim is an active member of the Australian marine science community attending conferences, supervising students, reviewing manuscripts and collaborating with colleagues across research institutes, industry and Traditional Owners.
