Our Team

APEM is managed by scientists with differing but interconnecting specialities. Our scientists are recognised experts in their individual fields, covering virtually every aspect of aquatic environmental science.

APEM employs highly skilled field and laboratory scientists each with their own area of expertise. Each team member is trained both in-house and externally to exacting standards with rigorous health and safety procedures being followed and met. All are certified to use electric fishing equipment as specified by the latest Environment Agency Issue II Code of Practice requirements, have RYA Power Boat Level II certificates and are also trained in First Aid.
