George Charalambides

Research Assistant in Marine Social Science

I am a marine social science assistant with a focus on equitable marine resource development and management. I am interested in all aspects of marine management, particularly how national and international policies are applied to human marine related activities (fisheries, aquaculture, marine renewables), and how they can be managed effectively and sustainably.

In addition, I am interested in the relationships which the above marine industries have with communities on a local scale.
