He works for both Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) and PML Applications, contributing to the safe and effective delivery of scientific surveys and fieldwork at sea, bringing extensive practical knowledge in fishing vessel operations, vessel ownership, and hands-on work across a range of marine environments.
Joel’s experience as a maritime professional includes:
• Commercial fishing
• Vessel operations
• Offshore marine work
Joel’s qualifications include a Fishing Class 2 Certificate and a Master 200 GT / OOW 500 GT.
Outside of his role at PML Applications, Joel sits on the boards of the Cornwall Fish Producers Organisation (CFPO) and the Plymouth Fisheries & Seafood Association (PFSA).
