'''Nicholas Kevin Dulvy''' is a Distinguished Professor and [Canada Research Chair](/source/Canada_Research_Chair) in Marine Biodiversity and Conservation at [Simon Fraser University](/source/Simon_Fraser_University). He was the Co-Chair of the [International Union for Conservation of Nature](/source/International_Union_for_Conservation_of_Nature) (IUCN) Shark Specialist Group<ref name = "IUCN Shark Specialist Group">{{citation|url=http://iucnssg.org/|title=IUCN Shark Specialist Group}}</ref> from 2009–2020. He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers and book chapters on [life histories](/source/life_history_theory), [extinction](/source/extinction) risk, the ecosystem impacts of [fishing](/source/Fisheries) and the ecological and socioeconomic impacts of [climate change](/source/climate_change).<ref name = "Google Scholar">{{cite web|url=https://scholar.google.ca/citations?user=FTpjJ1QAAAAJ&hl=en |title=Nicholas Dulvy – Google Scholar Citations |publisher=Google Scholar |access-date=22 August 2014}}</ref>

Dulvy was educated at [The Royal School, Armagh](/source/The_Royal_School%2C_Armagh). He received his Bachelor of Science in Zoology from [University of Birmingham](/source/University_of_Birmingham) in 1992, and his Doctor of Philosophy from the [University of East Anglia](/source/University_of_East_Anglia) in 1998. He spent several years working for the [UK Government Fisheries Agency](/source/Centre_for_Environment%2C_Fisheries_and_Aquaculture_Science) before taking a position at Simon Fraser University in 2008.<ref name="SFUDulvy">{{citation|url=https://www.sfu.ca/aq/issues/april2013/features/nick-dulvy.html |title=SFU aq Magazine Feature: Nick Dulvy}}</ref> His contributions to [marine ecology](/source/marine_ecology) include providing evidence for fisheries-induced trophic cascades at the island scale on [coral reefs](/source/coral_reefs)<ref name="Dulvyetal2004">{{Cite journal |last1=Dulvy |first1=N.K. |last2=Freckleton |first2=R.P. |last3= Polunin |first3=N.V.C.|year= 2004|title= Coral reef cascades and the indirect effects of predator removal by exploitation. |journal=Ecology Letters |volume=7 |issue=5 |pages= 410–416|doi=10.1111/j.1461-0248.2004.00593.x|bibcode=2004EcolL...7..410D }}</ref> and the discovery that fishes are moving to deeper habitats in response to climate change.<ref name="Dulvyetal2008">{{Cite journal |last1=Dulvy |first1=N.K. |last2=Rogers |first2=S.I. |last3=Jennings |first3= S. |last4=Stelzenmüller |first4= V. |last5= Dye |first5=S.R. |last6= Skjoldal |first6=H.R. |year=2008|title= Climate change and deepening of the North Sea fish assemblage: a biotic indicator of regional warming |journal= Journal of Applied Ecology|volume= 45 |pages= 1029–1039 |doi=10.1111/j.1365-2664.2008.01488.x |doi-access=free }}</ref> Dulvy and co-authors were the first to document marine population and species extinctions.<ref name="Dulvyetal2003">{{Cite journal |last1=Dulvy |first1=N.K. |last2=Sadovy |first2= Y. |last3= Reynolds |first3 = J.D. |year = 2003 |title = Extinction vulnerability in marine populations |journal=Fish and Fisheries|volume= 4 |issue=1 |pages = 25–64 |doi=10.1046/j.1467-2979.2003.00105.x|bibcode=2003FiFi....4...25D }}</ref>

Dulvy's work is notable for its influence on biodiversity conservation, food security, and poverty alleviation.<ref name= "Marsh Trust Award" >{{cite web|url=http://www.marshchristiantrust.org/default.asp?V_ITEM_ID=723 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304001259/http://www.marshchristiantrust.org/default.asp?V_ITEM_ID=723 |url-status=usurped |archive-date=4 March 2016 |title= Marsh Trust Award 2008}}</ref> For this work he was the 2008 recipient of the [Zoological Society of London's Marsh Award for Marine and Freshwater Conservation](/source/Zoological_Society_of_London) which is awarded for "contributions of fundamental science and its application to the conservation in marine and/or freshwater ecosystems". The award citation was for "research on the [effects of climate change on fisheries](/source/effects_of_climate_change_on_fisheries) and coastal communities, as well as threat and extinction risks in the context of improving fisheries management".<ref name = "Marsh Trust Award"/> In 2010, he was made a [Conservation Fellow of the Zoological Society of London](/source/Fellow_of_the_Zoological_Society_of_London), an award honouring individuals who have made exceptional contributions to conservation.

In 2014 Dulvy was the primary author of the first global analysis of the vulnerability of [chondrichthyans](/source/Chondrichthyes): "Extinction risk and conservation of the world's sharks and rays",<ref>{{cite journal|title=Abstract &#124; Extinction risk and conservation of the world's sharks and rays &#124; eLife |journal=eLife |date=21 January 2014 |volume=3 |article-number=e00590 |publisher=Elifesciences.org |doi=10.7554/eLife.00590 |last1=Dulvy |first1=Nicholas K. |last2=Fowler |first2=Sarah L. |last3=Musick |first3=John A. |last4=Cavanagh |first4=Rachel D. |last5=Kyne |first5=Peter M. |last6=Harrison |first6=Lucy R. |last7=Carlson |first7=John K. |last8=Davidson |first8=Lindsay NK |last9=Fordham |first9=Sonja V. |last10=Francis |first10=Malcolm P. |last11=Pollock |first11=Caroline M. |last12=Simpfendorfer |first12=Colin A. |last13=Burgess |first13=George H. |last14=Carpenter |first14=Kent E. |last15=Compagno |first15=Leonard JV |last16=Ebert |first16=David A. |last17=Gibson |first17=Claudine |last18=Heupel |first18=Michelle R. |last19=Livingstone |first19=Suzanne R. |last20=Sanciangco |first20=Jonnell C. |last21=Stevens |first21=John D. |last22=Valenti |first22=Sarah |last23=White |first23=William T. |pmid=24448405 |pmc=3897121 |editor1=Baldwin, Ian T |doi-access=free }}</ref> a collaborative effort involving 302 experts from 64 countries.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iucn.org/?14311/A-quarter-sharks-and-rays-threatened-with-extinction |title=A quarter of sharks and rays threatened with extinction |publisher=IUCN |date=21 January 2014 |access-date=22 August 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Gill |first=Victoria |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8117378.stm |title=Science & Environment &#124; Many sharks 'facing extinction' |publisher=BBC News |date=25 June 2009 |access-date=22 August 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Morales |first=Alex |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-01-21/extinction-threatens-1-4-of-sharks-and-rays-on-red-list.html |title=Extinction Threatens 1/4 of Sharks and Rays on Red List |publisher=Bloomberg |date=21 January 2014 |access-date=22 August 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.natureworldnews.com/articles/5727/20140121/iucn-group-25-sharks-rays-threatened-extinction.htm |title=IUCN Group Says 25% of All Sharks and Rays Threatened with Extinction: Animals |publisher=Nature World News |date=21 January 2014 |access-date=22 August 2014}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/38980/title/Sharks-and-Rays-in-Danger/|title=Sharks and Rays in Danger}}</ref> As the most endangered species of [sharks](/source/Threatened_sharks) and [rays](/source/Threatened_rays) are [sawfish](/source/sawfish)es, Dulvy and co-authors then developed the first global sawfish conservation strategy.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dulvy.com/global-sawfish-conservation-strategy.html |title=Global Sawfish Conservation Strategy – Marine Biodiversity & Conservation |publisher=Dulvy.com |access-date=22 August 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.arbiternews.com/2014/03/20/all-sawfish-species-critically-endangered/ |title=All Sawfish Species Critically Endangered |publisher=Arbiter News |date=24 March 2014 |access-date=22 August 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://en.starafrica.com/news/guinea-neighbour-lead-campaign-to-protect-endangered-sawfish.html |title=Guinea, neighbour lead campaign to protect endangered sawfish - Africa  |publisher=En.starafrica.com |date=5 June 2014 |access-date=22 August 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140825050332/http://en.starafrica.com/news/guinea-neighbour-lead-campaign-to-protect-endangered-sawfish.html |archive-date=25 August 2014 }}</ref>
