Our Vision

A healthier world for people and nature

We envision a world where healthy, resilient marine ecosystems support sustainable aquatic food systems, human well-being and thriving communities.

Our Mission

Interdisciplinary science for better futures

We bring together disciplines spanning marine ecology, fisheries science, nutrition, epidemiology, social science, economics, statistics and data science to understand complex aquatic socio-ecological systems and develop solutions to the challenges they face. By combining diverse sources of knowledge with innovative analytical approaches, we aim to advance understanding, inform better decisions and support resilient marine ecosystems, sustainable aquatic food systems and healthier societies.

Our Lab Culture

Growing together

We believe excellent science starts with curious, thoughtful and collaborative people. We foster an inclusive environment where everyone can develop their independence, creativity and confidence, support one another's growth and contribute meaningfully to science and society. Our core values include:

Collaboration We believe our best work comes from working together rather than working in isolation. We share ideas, knowledge, skills, and opportunities, and we support one another's research and development.
Diversity We value the different backgrounds, experiences, disciplines, skills, and ways of thinking that each person brings to the lab, understanding people have different ways of looking at things, and valuing the enrichment that comes from bringing those perspectives together.
Integrity Scientific integrity and personal integrity are inseparable. We strive to be honest, ethical, fair, accountable, and respectful in our research and in how we treat one another.
Motivation We want people to feel that they are part of something meaningful. Motivation is not about being busy all the time; it is about caring about what we are doing, taking ownership, and bringing curiosity and ideas to the table.
Growth We see research as a process of continual learning. We want everyone to grow intellectually, professionally, and personally, becoming increasingly independent, confident, and critical thinkers who are capable of tackling complex problems.
Impact We are driven by the desire to make a difference. We strive to ensure our research reaches beyond the lab, informing policy, guiding practice and contributing to healthier ecosystems and more equitable societies.
