Bayden is an ecophysiologist whose research focuses on the impact of climate change and eutrophication on ecosystem function, the biology of key species, and how best to manage and conserve ecosystems in this context. He also investigates the human relationship with, and dependence on, marine ecosystems and how these can be made sustainable through habitat restoration (e.g. oyster reefs) and development of multi-trophic aquaculture.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-569d675\" data-id=\"569d675\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd33f3a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cd33f3a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2-300x300.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1e29060 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"1e29060\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Associate Professor; Associate Director, Area of Ecology &#038; Biodiversity, School of Biological Sciences at the University of Hong Kong<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8279,"parent":371,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"categories":[5],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8271"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8271"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8271\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8290,"href":"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8271\/revisions\/8290"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/371"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/slgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
