commissions, advice and consultancy with those experts and bodies.
Directors
Mike Elliott
Professor Michael Elliott is Director of IECS Ltd and Emeritus Professor of Estuarine and Coastal Sciences at the University of Hull. He led the former Institute of Estuarine & Coastal Studies (IECS) from 1996 to 2017 and has built a distinguished career in marine biology, spanning ecology, policy, governance and environmental management. His work has shaped over 400 scientific publications and 23 books and proceedings, and he has contributed to numerous European research programmes including FP, INTERREG, H2020 and Horizon Europe. Mike has advised governments, industry and academia worldwide, and holds editorial and adjunct positions across institutions in Australia, Lithuania, Italy, China and South Africa. He is Co-Editor-in-Chief of Estuarine, Coastal & Shelf Science and has received international recognition, including the Winberg Medal and a Lifetime Achievement Award from ECSA. His career continues to bridge science and policy through active involvement in global marine committees and advisory networks.
Anita Franco
Dr Anita Franco is Co-Director of IECS Ltd and an independent estuarine and marine ecologist based in Hull, UK. With nearly two decades of experience, her expertise spans fish ecology, biodiversity assessment, ecological monitoring design, and statistical modelling. Anita has worked extensively with the European Commission, UK Government and statutory agencies, offering scientific advice on marine habitat value, ecological risk, and the impacts of human activities. Her research has informed marine planning and policy, and she has contributed to over 30 peer-reviewed journal articles, 10 book chapters, and 80 technical reports. Anita is a regular speaker at international conferences and stakeholder events, and currently serves as Associate Editor of Estuarine, Coastal & Shelf Science. She is also an elected council member of the Estuarine and Coastal Sciences Association (ECSA), where she continues to champion evidence-based approaches to marine ecosystem management and the development of robust ecological assessment tools.
Karen Nicholson
Karen Nicholson is Co-Director and Research Assistant at IECS Ltd, where she also oversees administration and project support. Since joining the team in 2019, she has worked closely with Professor Elliott, contributing to manuscript management for Estuarine, Coastal & Shelf Science, website development, and the coordination of conferences and travel. Karen plays a key role in compiling health, safety and environmental documentation for tenders and audits, and supports several European-funded projects including H2020 and INTERREG. With a BSc and MSc in Earth Sciences, she brings a strong technical foundation to her work and is currently pursuing PhD research in volcanic geology. Her skills include statistical analysis and GIS, and she is actively involved in both the scientific and operational aspects of IECS Ltd. Karen’s multidisciplinary background and attention to detail make her an integral part of the team’s research and consultancy efforts.
Staff & Associates
Dr Eva Catarina Costa Amorim
Dr Eva Amorim is an estuarine and coastal ecologist with a background in fish habitat use and GIS-based habitat mapping, gained through postgraduate studies at the University of Porto, Portugal. Her research interests span marine conservation, ecological modelling and data science, with a particular focus on water quality, pollution, and habitat suitability. Eva has extensive experience in field sampling (including ichthyoplankton and zooplankton), data analysis and scientific writing, contributing to studies on microbial pollutants, drinking water safety and estuarine nursery function. Her PhD explored the ecological role of estuaries in fish development, and she has supported EU Water Framework Directive implementation through ecological status assessments. Eva also brings a strong commitment to public engagement, having worked as an environmental education officer promoting climate awareness and sustainable energy use. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges ecological science with practical conservation and policy applications.
