We talk to Professor Tamara Galloway OBE and Professor Brendan Godley. Their highly collaborative work with academic, governmental and non-governmental organisations and industrial partners has been key in understanding our oceans and the pollution that impacts ourselves, other species and industry. Finding real-world solutions for their stakeholders is the common thread that runs through their work. 

Professor Tamara Galloway OBE is a Professor of Ecotoxicology at the Department of Biosciences. Her research focuses on marine pollution, the human health effects of pollutants and the sustainable development of novel materials and substances. She is a member of the Environmental Biology research group and the Exeter Marine network.

Professor Brendan Godley is the Strategy Lead of Exeter Marine and a conservation scientist whose research interests encompass biodiversity conservation, with a particular emphasis on marine vertebrates such as turtles, mammals, birds, and sharks. In recent years, his focus has shifted towards interdisciplinary approaches to conservation, addressing critical issues like bycatch mitigation in fisheries, the impact of ocean plastics, and the design of marine protected areas.
