Chloe Stanley (she/her)
I am currently a student of the MSc Marine Ecosystem Management carrying out my dissertation project. I will be using the BioTIME data to analyze biodiversity trends across marine protected areas (MPAs) over time. This will be achieved by evaluating species turnover and functional traits to assess the before- and after- effects of introducing an MPA to the area. I am currently exploring the spatial scale over which the analysis will take place, but it is likely that I will focus on temperate marine ecosystems due to data availability.
