Welcome to Sea-nature Studies, a marine environmental consultancy offering services in ecological assessment and marine education.

In the wide sea, Is life. There, there must the first process be.
There in the little all begin...
(Goethe, 1831).


Sea-nature Studies offers services in marine data analysis, interpretation and reporting. Please request a quote for any and all marine ecological work in these headline categories for both subtidal and intertidal work. Sea-nature Studies also specialises in offering a service to any projects particularly concerned with marine non-native species. Within this category services would include the full range of options from crafting valid questions and testable hypotheses where required, through to conclusions and recommendations. Find out more about our background and ecological assessment services.

Don't Judge Species On Their Origins
2021 marks the 10 year anniversary of the publication in Nature of an article titled, 'Don't judge species on their origins' (Davis et al., 2011). Perhaps the authors and others are planning to issue a follow-up? If their original paper is anything to go by it will be well worth reading because, as with all science, it's the testing and challenging of established ideas that grows and morphs our understanding.

​Davis, M.A., Chew, M.K., Hobbs, R.J., Lugo, A.E., Ewel, J.J., Vermeij, G.J., Brown, J.H., Rosenzweig, M.L., Gardener, M.R., Carroll, S.P., Thompson, K., Pickett, S.T., Stromberg, J.C., Del Tredici, P., Suding, K.N., Ehrenfeld, J.G., Grime, J.P., Mascaro, J. and Briggs, J.C. (2011). Don't judge species on their origins. 
Nature, 474, 153–154. doi: 10.1038/474153a.
