Paul Naylor is a marine biologist and underwater photographer with a passion for showing people what beautiful and fascinating animals live around the British coast, through articles, talks, films, social media and TV, as well as his book – Great British Marine Animals.
The creatures’ intriguing behaviour and colourful life stories are the particular focus of his still photography and video, both for scientific research and engaging audiences. His footage has appeared on the BBC’s One Show, Blue Planet UK, Countryfile and Autumnwatch.
Paul works with conservation organisations and the media to raise the profile of our wonderful marine life and the importance of caring for our seas.
BSAC members may know Paul from his ‘Critter Confidential’ pieces in SCUBA magazine since its launch 15 years ago.
