Academic career

After a 1993 PhD titled 'Reproductive cycle, sex change, and mortality during brooding of a viviparous sea cucumber Leptosynapta clarki' at the University of Alberta, she moved to the University of Auckland, rising to full professor.[1]

Sewell has spoken publicly on a number of marine issues, including shark finning[2] and microbeads and plastic pollution[3][4][5][6][7]
