Author Information
Professor Stephen de Mora recently retired as the Chief Executive of the Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) and PML Applications Ltd. Previously he's taught chemistry, environmental science, and oceanography at universities in the United Kingdom (University of Lancaster), New Zealand (University of Auckland) and Canada (University du Québec à Rimouski); and worked at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Marine Environment Laboratory in Monaco. Through the IAEA, he worked with several Regional Seas Programme and Global Environment Facility (GEF) projects around the world. Stephen was presented with a Distinguished Service Award in the year that the IAEA was a co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in 2005. He is the only Ad Hominem member of the UK Marine Science Coordination Committee. He serves as a Sargasso Sea Commissioner and on a number of other national and international committees. Tim Fileman is a marine scientist, technical manager and centre manager for The Ballast Water Centre in PML Applications Ltd. He has over 30 years' experience in marine science and initially trained as an analytical chemist working on marine pollution related issues for the UK government. Tim later moved into research to follow his interest in organic contaminant behaviour through estuaries and marine biogeochemistry before developing commercial services for PML. He developed the Ballast Water Centre, which grew from his experience in working with the shipping industry to deliver environmental services. He is a Chartered Scientist and Marine Scientist and a Member of the Institute of Marine Engineers, Scientists, and Technologists (IMarEST). Dr Tom Vance is Centre Manager of The Centre for marine Biofouling & Corrosion. He specialises in marine fouling community ecology and biofouling control. Tom has experience of designing, conducting and interpreting field and laboratory based experiments on marine invertebrate and algal assemblages, both in the U.K and internationally. His practical experience includes diving surveys, field based manipulative experimentation, marine invertebrate taxonomy, advanced image analysis, physiological assessments of fouling species, molecular analysis of biofilms together with multivariate statistics and reporting.
