Ambassador Samantha Blampied
PhD – Local Marine Scientist
"For my PhD, which was part of Blue Marine Foundation’s wider project both here in Jersey and in the UK, I studied the ecology and socioeconomics of the Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) around Les Écréhous, Les Minquiers and southeast of Jersey to better understand the role MPAs have to play in conserving marine biodiversity and in creating more sustainable fisheries."
