Jacob Cook

Biography

I graduated from the University of Essex in 2023 with a first-class BSc in Marine Biology. During my final year project, I researched the distribution of antifouling paint particles in the local area, leading me to my interest in antifouling biocides and their environmental impacts. On the basis of this work, I was offered the opportunity to expand this into a PhD research project. As a Leverhulme doctoral scholar, I collaborate with the Department of Government in an interdisciplinary project that merges policy with science. This unique opportunity involves engaging with stakeholders to effectively manage the environmental impacts of antifouling biocides at Brightlingsea Marina.
