Marine Biology Expert Witnesses

Two-thirds of the Earth are covered by ocean and eighty percent of all life on Earth is found beneath the ocean’s surface. Marine Biology is the study of the animal, plant and microscopic life in the world’s oceans. The ocean is full of life. There are many different ecosystems, or communities of living things that survive by interacting with one another and their environment. By studying the ocean’s plants and animals, Marine Biologists can study the effects of pollution, climate change and other human activities on the ocean’s ecosystems. Our marine biology experts have worked as marine biologists, physiologists, chemists, toxicologists, environmental scientists, ecologists, to name a few. With hundreds of years of combined experience, our marine biology experts have successfully testified for both plaintiffs and defense in a variety of cases and are prolific international authors and lecturers. Their published works span topics that include environmental impacts on marine communities, biogeography, chaetognatha, algae, poaching of sea trout, coral reef ecology, nutrient cycling, Antarctic fish, and nervous system structure.

Here are a few of our favorite Marine Biology Expert Witnesses:

I have 22 years of experience, and specialize in the field of environmental science with specific knowledge in the areas of habitat restoration, seagrasses and water resource management. I have published on such topics as environmental impacts on marine communities, habitat restoration and seagrass ecology. My professional career ranges from tropical to arctic systems, including experience as a biologist for the US Fish and Wildlife Service working on the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill. My work regarding seagrass restoration resulted in me winning an Environmental Excellence Award for Healthy Ecosystems.

 

I have 20 years of experience in the field of biology, with specific knowledge of general marine biology, fish physiology, and human anatomy and physiology. I have published on such topics as antarctic fishes, sea turtle, and tuna and shark physiology. I have testified on soft tissue damage, organ function and basic skeletal anatomy.

 

I have 15 years of experience and specialize in the field of marine biology and physiology, with specific knowledge of disease in marine organisms, malarial infections in lower vertebrates and comparative animal physiology. I have published on such topics as animal metabolism, the impact of disease on animal physiology and animal energetics.

 

I have 10 years of experience and specialize in the field of invertebrate biodiversity, with specific knowledge of taxonomy, ecology and functional morphology. I have published on such topics as biodiversity, nervous system structure and ultrastructure.

 

I have 30 years of experience in the field of marine biology, with specific knowledge in the areas of coral reef ecology, environmental health, and coral reef restoration. I have published on such topics as coral reef ecology, nutrient cycling, and coral physiology. I have testified on potential damage to coral reef health of road widening, deposed on whether hotel should have known about danger of submerged rocks to guests and validity of federal damage assessment for a ship grounding.

I have 25 years of experience, and specialize in the field of marine biology with specific knowledge in the areas of biofouling, antifouling and larval biology. I have published on such topics as larval behaviour, antifouling coatings and designing experiments. I have testified on poaching of seatrout. I am an accredited Aquanaut, having lived for a week underwater in the Aquarius habitat on the seabed off the coast of Florida.

 

I have 32 years of experience, and specialize in the field of marine biology with specific knowledge in the areas of fishes, macroalgae and invertebrates. I have published on such topics as population and community ecology of fishes, invertebrates and algae. I was an aquanaut in the Virgin Islands, spending one week in a submersible habitat without surfacing, diving 6-8 hours per day.

 

I have 47 years of experience and specialize in the field of marine biology with specific knowledge in the areas of zooplankton, biodiversity, ecology and pollution stress monitoring. I have published on such topics as zooplankton, Chaetognatha, biodiversity, biogeography, pollution stress and monitoring of the Indian Ocean. I have testified 45 times on topics such as zooplankton, Chaetognatha, biodiversity, and biogeography and pollution stress.
