Researcher at the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the University of Gothenburg (Sweden). I am based at Kristineberg marine research station in the Swedish west coast. I lead the research group Seagrass Ecology Lab that explores the complex bio-physical interactions that affect benthic ecosystems, with a particular focus on coastal restoration, ecological feedbacks, tipping points, and plant-sediment-flow interactions.
As a member of the ZOsteRa RestOration (ZORRO) research group, I collaborate with marine ecologists, environmental legal scholars, and environmental economists to develop new methods for the management and restoration of seagrass habitats in Sweden. Our ultimate goal is to improve the environmental status of shallow coastal ecosystems.
Growing up in the Canary Islands in Spain, the sea was my playground, and my love for the marine environment has only grown stronger over the years. My personal mission is to contribute to the conservation of coastal and marine environments, in the hopes that future generations can enjoy them as I did.
