Dr Robert Courtney
Senior Researcher
Dr Rob loves to wrestle deadly jellies, explore new research methods and appreciates a good meat pie. He is a fountain of knowledge and our go-to expert when it comes to jellyfish, lobsters, all sorts of weird animals and broken things.

Aquarium Curator
Nothing happens in the aquarium without Jess's approval. Be in her good books, or you won't be in at all. Sometimes it seems like she has octopus arms juggling all her tasks: water quality, livestock, ethics, group visits, filming, and more.
