Who We Are?

Dr. Alex Robbins is a marine ornithologist with NatureScot, advising industry and government on the impacts of marine renewable energy developments on Scottish seabird populations. Alex started working in conservation policy and advice in 2005. Since 2006, Alex has undertaken seabird fieldwork in Prince William Sound, Alaska, and Shetland, UK, for her Master’s and then PhD, as well as working as a warden at Noss National Nature Reserve. Her research has ranged from exploring predator impacts at colonies to observing seabird behavior within high-energy tidal environments. In her spare time (around work and raising two young daughters), she is establishing a long-term monitoring program for marine birds in Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland, Canada.
