Head of Research Dr Nathalie Viljoen

As Head of Research, I enable and facilitate biophysical research at the Two Oceans Aquarium in collaboration with Higher Education Institutes and Research Institutes in South Africa and abroad. Through these research collaborations we aim to nurture future ocean leaders and prepare them to impact decision making around this marine resource. The study of fish and its role it plays in the environment affecting people’s lives is of critical importance in our pursuit to manage these resources sustainably.
