Alex Rogers

One of the world’s leading marine biologists Professor Alex Rogers describes the wonders that lie beneath the ocean’s surface and explains what we can do to protect them.

The oceans contain 90% of all life yet the majority have not been seen by human eye let alone studied by scientists. Rogers explains how the oceans have a huge impact on our lives and how we are damaging them with pollution, overfishing and the effects of climate change. He argues that we must reshape our relationship with the oceans before it is too late.

Rogers is science director of REVOcean and specialises in deep sea and Antarctic ecology and in coral reef ecosystems. He is an associate fellow of the Oxford Martin School’s programme on sustainable oceans.
