Who We Are.
We are a team of post-doctoral researchers, graduate students, and undergraduate students dedicated to producing robust research on conservation and resource management issues in Mexican waters.
What We Do.
We focus on understanding how marine resources in Mexican waters are utilized. By researching various marine habitats and their associated ecosystem services, we build dialogue and engage with local communities and stakeholders to further science and policy. We further leverage multimedia communications to disseminate our work to targeted audiences.
How We Do It.
We analyze the interactions in marine ecology among marine biodiversity, fisheries, socioeconomics, climate change, and more. Our results facilitate understanding of the dynamics between marine ecosystems and human activities and are disseminated to partners, decision-makers, and stakeholders. Using multidisciplinary approaches, we tackle complex marine management issues to provide guidance towards sustainability and conservation.
