Research Interests
I am interest in the ecology and conservation of tropical shallow and deep reefs, with special focus on community characterization (from microbes to fishes), habitat mapping, effects of marine protected areas and fisheries. Main tools: open and closed circuit technical diving, ROVs and manned submersibles.
