Hunter Lenihan

I work to find solutions to environmental problems through research, teaching, and networking. My work focuses on marine ecosystems, especially assessing the impacts of human activities, conserving and restoring habitats, such as corals, oyster, and rocky reefs, and working with communities to design and implement sustainable fishing practices.

I am co-director of the Rahui Center in French Polynesia, where we are helping communities and local governments re-establish traditional management practices in coastal marine systems, including through small-scale fisheries management and marine reserve-based conservation.
