Alec Taylor

Director of Policy and Research

Oceana Staff

Alec joined as Director of Policy and Research for Oceana in the UK in August 2024 and returns to his passion for protecting and recovering the ocean.

He is an experienced policy advocate across land and sea, having led both marine and food production policy teams at WWF UK over almost nine years. This included launching WWF’s seagrass restoration programme and setting its positions on marine protected areas, spatial planning and fisheries. Prior to WWF, Alec led on similar work areas for the RSPB, and led the cross-NGO campaign to ban the global discharge of a series of harmful chemicals at sea.

He is a cited lead author for several reports, including marine chapters of the first State of Nature report, and Measuring Up, which tracked the UK’s progress in meeting its Sustainable Development Goal commitments.

Alec lives in London but secretly hankers after a life by the sea and tries to get in and on the water as much as possible!
