Such duties include but are not limited to, project logistics, field operations (boat captain, data collection and scientific dive training), and training and mentoring staff, students and interns on the various scientific methodologies utilized by the lab.

Research Interests:

Tim’s current research interests focus on coral reef fisheries. Currently his project is assessing reef fish populations around the Bermuda platform using Baited Remote Underwater Video Stations (BRUVS). The aim of the project is to provide quantitative data on reef fish populations, distribution and habitat utilization. In addition, he is also interested in investigating point/diffuse source pollution and dredging related activity within coral reef environments.
