Todd Bond is a marine scientist whose expertise lies in fish ecology and video-based methods for assessing marine communities in shallow to hadal depths, as well as inter- and subtidal invertebrate ecology and oil and gas decommissioning. He currently serves as the Deputy Director of the Minderoo-UWA Deep-Sea Research Centre at the University of Western Australia, where he manages external relationships and coordinates research involving several postdoctoral research fellows and PhD students. He has held the position of Research Fellow in the School of Biological Science at UWA, leading projects focusing on deep-sea environments and biodiversity. In his research, Todd employs video-based methods using baited landers, human-occupied submersibles, and remotely operated vehicles to explore some of the deepest locations in Australia and their role in marine conservation and management. His work has also involved collaborations with oil and gas companies to understand the implications of subsea infrastructure decommissioning for fish populations. He collaborates with various stakeholders including national governments and philanthropic organizations, and works alongside colleagues from the UK, US, Brazil, New Zealand, and Japan.
