Andrew Temple obtained his PhD from Newcastle University, UK in 2019. His research and consultancy work focuses on interactions between large marine vertebrates (marine mammals, sharks, rays, turtles, and large fin-fish) and anthropogenic impacts. He considers himself an interdisciplinary researcher with expertise in ecology, fisheries science, and socioeconomic. His long-term goal is to improve the impact of conservation science by transforming the discipline from a reactive science, responding to species feclines, into a proactive one. His research is fundamentally collaborative, as part of multi-disciplinary teams with academics, government researchers, policymakers, NGOs, and industry stakeholders.
