Summary
Benjamin Radford is a data scientist and marine conservation specialist with 13 years of multidisciplinary field experience combining marine biology, diving instruction, and quantitative analysis. He has delivered college-accredited marine science programs at sea, logged over 43,000 nautical miles aboard 112-ft schooners, and led a 23-person lifeguard team for RNLI operations. Academically trained in marine vertebrate ecology and conservation, he brings hands-on in-field data collection expertise and has applied Excel, GIS, R Studio, and behavioral analysis tools to undergraduate and postgraduate theses on artificial habitats and elasmobranch perceptions. Comfortable operating across boats, beach vehicles, and remote field sites, he translates complex ecological questions into actionable research and safety protocols. Based in Hurn, England, he blends practical maritime leadership with data-driven conservation practice, and also engages with political and academic circles via research and teaching roles. Notably, his profile bridges rigorous passenger-facing safety leadership (PADI/RNLI) with postgraduate-level social-ecological research in Central America.
