Charles Sheppard OBE was an Emeritus Professor whose work focused on coral reefs, and impacts of marine exploitation and climate change. He researched in most Indian Ocean and Caribbean countries, wrote about 250 research articles and over a dozen books, and received several awards for conservation. Anne Sheppard has been Charles' partner and scientific colleague throughout, a biologist, taxonomist and photographer. They first visited the Chagos Archipelago in the 1970s and then, with others, built up a series of research expeditions as the richness, condition and value of Chagos became apparent. This culminated in its declaration as the world's largest no-take ocean reserve. Photo Jon Schlayer, with permission. See less
