Current Research Interest :

-Integrative assessment of coastal and estuarine waters (methods of assessment)

- Habitat mapping and habitat suitability (benthos and fishes)
- Biodiversity and goods and services valuation
- Marine Spatial Planning (including new uses e.g. renewable energy)
- Marine and estuarine monitoring, marine pollution and quality (water, sediment, biomonitors).
- Environmental impacts at sea,
- Marine and Benthic ecology (soft- and hard-bottom).
- Marine resources exploitation and management (shellfish and fish).
