I am working with an interdisciplinary team of investigators from California State Universities, Channel Islands and Northridge and Oregon State University to examine the influence of humans on marine resources in the Cook Islands, South Pacific. The Raratonga and Atiu island and Aitutaki atoll provide an interesting case study of declining human population in the outer islands.

In Summer 2015 we brought students from California State University Channel Islands to assist with baseline research and monitoring on Aitutaki.
