Honorary Secretary of the Porcupine Marine Natural History Society
Dr Roger Bamber is a Senior Partner with ARTOO Marine Biology Consultants, having had a career in applied and commercial science, particularly coastal and deep-sea environmental impact assessment, non-chemical pollution, expert witnessing and saline-lagoon conservation. He is a marine biologist specializing in benthic invertebrate communities, with a peculiar obsession with pycnogonids and tanaidaceans (and a few other obscure taxa) but also indulging in other crustaceans, polychaetes, molluscs, echinoderms and the occasional fish, is responsible for the World Pycnogonid Webpage (PycnoBase) as well as for describing a ridiculous number of new species world-wide, and has recently produced the updated version of the Synopsis of the British Fauna on sea-spiders (Pycnogonida). He seems to have been on the Council of Porcupine since 1980.
