Dr Richard Unsworth M.Sc B.Sc CMarSci

Chartered Marine Scientist (IMarEST)

I am a marine ecologist with eight years experience in academic research, commercial and non-governmental organisations. I have a specialist knowledge of habitat connectivity, seagrass ecosystems and tropical marine ecology. I currently work for Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM) in Brisbane developing environmental impact assessments, management plans, environmental offsetting and monitoring for large marine dredge projects and coastal developments in sensitive coral reef environments. Recent consultancy projects include Environmental Impact Assessments for a power station in Indonesia, Port Expansions in Western Australia, and road developments in Queensland.

 

I have a PhD titled ‘Aspects of the ecology of Indo-Pacific seagrass systems’ and have previously been involved with the monitoring of artisanal fisheries; work on direct economic value of habitats; and research into the effect of marine reserves on top predatory fish. My career has included consultancy, conservation and research projects in the Wales, Indonesia, Philippines, England, Portugal, Azores and the Isles of Orkney. I am continually developing relations with NGOs, private consultancies and academia. This is to develop research and consultancy projects, and a long-term career in environmental consultancy and natural resource management. The creation of Orthia Marine as a private consulting company is a long-term development.
