My experience and knowledge on marine sciences, particularly in marine biology and ecology, conservation and biodiversity fields, is reflected in the dozens of publications, including scientific articles, published in international journals, book chapters, reports and other publications and general outreach presentations (non-scientific). Over the last 15 years, I have also had the opportunity to participate in various international, national and regional projects.

Biography
My experience and knowledge on marine sciences, particularly in marine biology and ecology, conservation and biodiversity fields, is reflected in the dozens of publications, including scientific articles, published in international journals, book chapters, reports and other publications and general outreach presentations (non-scientific). Over the last 15 years, I have also had the opportunity to participate in various international, national and regional projects. On a more personal level, I completed a Master's thesis and a PhD thesis successfully, worked as a scientific consultant for some companies and was the leading editor of an international journal focused on aquarium, marine biology and conservation. In addition to these qualifications, I have extensive diving experience, including participation in some scientific expeditions. My academic and scientific background has contributed to developing my knowledge and sensitivity regarding the importance of marine biodiversity and its conservation, coupled with the complexity of its sustainable management and the variety of marine ecosystems that support it. I also had the opportunity to participate actively in the international PUMPSEA project "Peri-urban mangrove forests as filters and potential phytoremediators of domestic sewage in East Africa", which addressed domestic pollution. Already in the Azores, I participated in the INSPECT project "Exotic marine species introduced in Portuguese estuaries and coastal zones: patterns of distribution and abundance, vectors and invasion potential", also linked to pollution and its biological consequences to marine ecosystems. Over the last years, I continued to focus my research in projects concerning human impacts on marine ecosystems, including pollution, fisheries, tourism, and more recently climate change.
