ABOUT ME
I am a marine biologist, currently working on the conservation and management of species taken incidentally in tropical tuna purse seine fisheries (bycatch). My main research interests are ecological modeling, spatial ecology, oceanography and ecosystem-based management approaches for the conservation of marine top predators. I understand marine conservation as a way of life.
