Ben Green collected field data on Hoga for his thesis entitled Spatial Ecology of Fish Populations of Wetland Habitats, which in Indonesia involves considerable work in the mangrove forests around Hoga. Mangroves are important and often overlooked ecosystems, vital for the functioning of the whole tropical marine environment. His work involved identifying factors that determine the structure of the fish populations that inhabit the mangroves at high tide. Another interest is habitat connectivity, in particular the movement of fish larvae between mangrove, seagrass and reef habitats.
