About me
I am a marine ecologist working with different aspects of management and protection of species and habitats in the Baltic Sea.
My research interest include:
- Seaweed and seagrass ecology
- Restoration of coastal habitats
- Effects of anthropogenic pressures (including eutrophication, boating and physical disturbance) on coastal habitats
- Mapping and monitoring of benthic species and habitats
