Brendan co-ordinates the activities of the MTRG with Annette Broderick. He is currently a NERC Research Fellow carrying out a study of the "Determinants of Migration Strategies in Marine Turtles."
Marine turtle studies to date have been diverse and have involved work in the Mediterranean (Northern Cyprus and Turkey), the Caribbean (Trinidad & Tobago and the UK Overseas Territories), west Africa (Guinea Bissau) and the south Atlantic (Ascension Island) as well as studies of marine turtles in British waters. For more information see projects.
Major interests include:
- Animal migration/satellite telemetry
