My research explores the dynamics of marine resource industries, particularly aquaculture and fisheries. I investigate how property rights structure affects industry composition, water quality, local governance, and environmental/social outcomes. My research aims to inform policies for sustainable marine resource management, considering the growing reliance on oceans for food and energy.
