Ed Fenny BSc Marine Science

Managing Director

Ed studied marine science following a childhood exploring the extensive WA coastline with a nature-loving family. Following fisheries and aquaculture work experience in Shark Bay, Ed became ingrained in the early beginnings of Ocean Park and eventually bought the business from the establishing owners. Ed has a very high quality standard and is known to make 10 coffees until he gets the right one. When Ed isn’t at Ocean Park, you’ll find him fishing, diving and kite surfing around Shark Bay.
