Carryn joined the MARAM Group full time in 2003.

Carryn’s research focuses on the quantitative assessment of marine resources and sustainable management of fisheries with a particular interest in the implementation of Management Strategy Evaluation in different regions worldwide. While her local research primarily includes the species harvested by South Africa’s small pelagic fishery, other current research interests include global analyses of fish stock status and the impacts of fisheries management, as well as the co-development of Implementation Simulation Trials for stocks monitored by the International Whaling Commission and simulation of the impact of future catch limits using those trials.
