Toby joined the team in 2002 and he has been working on developing the Trust fisheries department. He has a BSc in Geography and an MSc in Coastal & Marine Resource Management from Portsmouth University.

After leaving university, Toby combined travel in Australasia and South America with gaining experience of inshore and pelagic fisheries. This included work on both fishing and scientific vessels, and in a programme establishing community-lead fisheries management.

Since moving to the Westcountry, Toby has worked in voluntary and private sector organisations dealing with the freshwater environment. Projects have involved water quality monitoring, river habitat assessment and restoration and fisheries management.

A keen sea and game angler, Toby has found the ideal working environment and now uses the perfect excuse for packing his rod and line with briefcase!
