About William

I am a senior vessel skipper and technical specialist based at the Coxside Marine Station. I facilitate fieldwork afloat in support of undergraduate and postgraduate programs of study within the University of Plymouth. I am authorized and experienced in the operation of all vessels within the Marine Station fleet and am regularly involved in skippering and supporting marine science, ocean exploration, marine biology and commercial diving activities. I have extensive experience in the logistical implications and challenges of deploying a wide range of marine field equipment while afloat and am happy to assist and offer advice in early planning stages for new and existing activities.
