Paul Naylor has been captivated by the animals that live around the coast of Britain since he first donned a mask and snorkel on the Norfolk coast nearly fifty years ago. Ever since then, he has spent as much time as possible underwater, watching them go about their busy lives. Paul is passionate about sharing the beauty and fascination of the animals with as wide an audience as possible, through books, articles, talks, films, social media and TV, appearing with his footage on the BBC’s Coast, The One Show, Blue Planet UK and Countryfile. His photographs and video have been extensively used in campaigns for better protection and awareness of the UK’s amazing but too often under-appreciated marine life. Paul has a doctorate in marine biology and is an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society.
​
We are pleased to announce that Paul Naylor will be taking part in our 'Careers outside of Academia' discussion panel on Day 3 of the conference. Be sure to attend if you have any questions for Paul about his career, photography or even his new book!
About the book:
This book is an eye-opening celebration of the wonderful diversity of animals that live in British seas, and the colourful and fascinating ways they go about their lives.
From sea anemones using miniature harpoons to capture prey and sea snails drilling holes in their victims, from crabs decorating their armour to fish changing sex and building nests, they all have amazing stories to tell.
​
Great British Marine Animals uses stunning underwater photographs to show many aspects of behaviour, as well as to aid identification of a wide range of common species. It will appeal to all ages and to anyone who loves the sea, wildlife or exploring our coast.
With 500 new photographs, this is by far the largest revision of Great British Marine Animals to date. New material shows much more of the animals’ intriguing behaviour and also describes 40 additional species
What reviewers said about earlier editions of Great British Marine Animals:
“It is nothing less than a triumph: a gasp on every page…” The Times
“…Naylor’s photographs disclose a world that is intensely colourful not only in the visual sense, but also because of the behaviour of its varied inhabitants.” The Independent
“…photography is of a high quality, and the book benefits from large, exceptionally clear species-identification pictures. Above all, the author’s obvious love for the subject shines through on every page.” DIVE magazine
“A magical book crammed with colourful photography…” The Teacher
