Lucy Georgiou, Marine Ecologist at Marine Ecological Surveys Limited (part of Gardline), has over 2 years experience in the fields of environmental field work, benthic taxonomy and project management. Lucy has extensive field work experience having practice in the use of day grabs, Hamon grabs and trawls. Lucy was a field environmentalist for the duration of the East Anglia Offshore Windfarm project, which took four months to complete and was lead shift supervisor for part of this survey. Lucy has also been involved in the research and writing of commercial reports and research reports such as a report commissioned by Natural England on the viability of Marine Protected Areas.

Currently Lucy is project managing the East Anglia Offshore Windfarm Cable Route and Thanet Offshore Windfarm Post-Construction projects.
