Since establishing M.I.E.S. Dr. Jarvis has undertaken intertidal survey work in the west of Ireland and has acted as offshore client representative in the North Sea.
The bulk of M.I.E.S. activities revolves around the analysis of benthic samples from U.K. Waters. These samples are taken by energy and extraction companies, regulatory and conservation bodies and academic institutions.
Stephen has built up a very extensive library of macro- and meiofaunal taxonomic literature and works covering many aspects of marine and estuarine ecology and keeps abreast of latest developments through workshop attendance and contacts in academia.
