SELECTED RESEARCH MYFISH: Maximizing yield of fisheries while balancing ecosystem, economic and social concerns. Postdoctoral researcher at IFM. The MYFISH project is a flagship research initiative funded by the EU. MYFISH aims at developing new Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) indicators that can ensure high levels of fishery yield while respecting ecological, economic and social sustainability, thereby contributing to achieve Good Environmental Status (GES) as foreseen in the EU s Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) GAP2: Bridging the gap between science, stakeholders and policy-makers. Postdoctoral researcher at IFM. Field application of Q-sort methodology followed by institutional analysis of the different case studies using interviews. The overall project aims for the integration of evidence-based knowledge and its application to science and management of fisheries and the marine environment SOCIOEC: Socio economic effects of management measures of the future CFP. Postdoctoral research her at IFM. The project aims to investigate the potential socio-economic effects of the main management principles of the future Common Fishery Policy (CFP) and particularly the impacts of new policy framework and opportunities for the fishing sector to develop selfand co-management VECTORS of change in oceans and seas marine life, Impact on Economic Sectors.
