Dr Debbie Snook CBiol, MSB, CEnv, MIEEM

Dr. Snook is a Chartered Biologist and Chartered Environmentalist with over 20 years experience within aquatic ecology. Experience has focused on the hydro-ecology of freshwater environments, investigating and resolving water quality problems, habitat restoration and amelioration, and ecosystem community dynamics.

Experience within the commercial sector as a consultant freshwater ecologist for 10 years; launched Aseda in 2003.

Several years of research experience, principally as a Research Fellow at the Aquatic Environments Research Centre based at Reading University.

Other roles have been within regional planning, government and voluntary bodies. Though working primarily in the UK, Dr Snook has undertaken projects within temperate, alpine and tropical habitats.
