Daniel Bayley
Postdoctoral Researcher, UCL
Dan works on developing and applying new technologies for the assessment of tropical reef systems with the aim to gain a better understanding of their ecology and to better inform effective management. Aside from the BHP in Fiji, Dan's work is based primarily in the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT), where he leads work on monitoring changes in reef 3D structure and function. Dan is a committee member of the International Coral Reef Society, and has previously worked on marine projects across the Indian, Atlantic, Pacific and Southern Oceans, as well as acting as an adviser to government on the designation of UK marine protected areas.
