Biographies Science education and teaching Aquatic biology Marine ecology 19th century 20th century, early United Kingdom Flattely, Frederick William

Attention is drawn to the contributions of Frederick William Flattely (1888–1937), noting the wide range of his natural history publications. He is best known for his ground-breaking guidebook on shore ecology, The Biology of the Sea-shore, first published with Charles Walton in 1922. Both started their careers at University College of Wales, Aberystwyth. Flattely was greatly influenced there by Professor Herbert J. Fleure; hence his interest in environmental matters, agriculture and parasitology. After removing via the University of Aberdeen to the University of Durham and concentrating on marine issues, he moved thence to the League of Nations in Rome as a technical editor (using his extensive linguistic skills). Of German extraction, he changed his surname from Durlacher to Flattely in 1914. He eventually took-up a position teaching biology at Leighton Park School, Reading. He is remembered there as an excellent teacher and motivator of students.
