Martin Stanley is the founder and principle research officer of Ocean Life Survey, leading our work and commissioning expert research staff for specific research projects where required.
Martin Stanley has delivered marine consultancy contracts for Ocean Life Survey since 2013. With a further six years previous experience delivering marine research and monitoring for the New Zealand Department of Conservation, and further five years within the international marine conservation non governmental sector, and another three years working with marine industry, he has a wide and diverse range of expertise successfully managing and delivering marine research, projects, surveys and operations.
A co-author on several published scientific papers, he has previously led scientific field research efforts to conserve the IUCN listed Critically Endangered Maui's dolphin and NZ Nationally Critical Bryde's whale in New Zealand.
Martin Stanley has managed and led marine reserve and protected area monitoring and protection programmes in New Zealand, and marine and oceanographic surveys in the UK around the world, and has worked as a field scientist for NGO's and marine industry on many different marine research surveys and programmes worldwide.
He is the architect of an operational large whale warning and alert system for commercial shipping in the Hauraki Gulf New Zealand; a sea disposal system for large dead whales; a compliance monitoring system of the commercial whale watch industry; an environmental and marine law enforcement & compliance programme in Auckland, New Zealand.
He has pioneered work investigating and trialing technological detection systems for marine mammals, including successfully proving and testing vessel based thermal whale detection for the purpose of whale ship strike prevention:

This is now being developed by Ocean Life Survey into an automated system to allow vessels to detect and be alerted to the presence of large whales, allowing the vessel to avoid the risk of collision with the whales.
Martin has also proved the ability of thermal imaging to detect and identify dolphin species, including the some of the rarest and smallest dolphin species in the world, the Maui and Hector's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori):

http://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2017/03/new-technology-could-help-protect-the-m-ui-dolphin.html
This has now been developed into a practical system to allow nocturnal detection and monitoring of marine mammal species, with Ocean Life Survey developing a system which can be used by fishing vessels to help reduce marine mammal fisheries by-catch deaths.
Martin is also a former marine ranger, senior warranted officer and area environmental compliance and bio-security officer with the New Zealand Department of Conservation, where he has designed, implemented, managed and led successful marine and terrestrial compliance and law enforcement teams, programmes, monitoring and operations.
Martin has also worked as a Marine Advisor/Project Manager for a UK/Welsh government environmental agency, delivering specialist advise and managing marine, estuarine and river conservation projects, including UROV and diver surveys, biosecurity and debris removal operations, and marine artificial habitat instillations.
Martin has also worked for international environmental NGO's, as marine scientist delivering EIA surveys for marine renewable energy development, marine mammal, seabird, plankton, and debris surveys from the North Sea through the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans, to the Southern Ocean and Antarctic pack ice.
With extensive logistic coordination and hazard management experience, as well as being Ocean Life Survey's Principle Research Officer Martin is also the Logistics Coordinator for Ocean Life Survey.
He holds a New Zealand commercial skippers qualification (ILM), an international power boat license, RYA Day-skipper, VHF radio licenses, and scuba-diving qualification. Academically educated at Greenwich University and London Guildhall University in the UK, and Maynooth University in Eire, he holds a BSc (Hons) Geography and Combined Studies.
