Interview par l’association The Sea Cleaners, juin 2020

 

As a doctoral student in public law, the subject concerns the development of a methodology for measuring the application of marine environmental law, on the basis of legal indicators.

The identification of the qualitative and/or quantitative stages of the process of implementation and application of the rule will enable a qualitative evaluation of the implementation of the texts linked to the chosen indicators. As part of the OceanLAM project led by Marie Bonnin, the analyses will focus on a limited number of issues related to marine pollution from land-based sources (plastic, sanitation, persticides) and on a small number of African, European and American countries, located on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. These areas were chosen to allow the methodology to be tested in a panel of countries with different legal systems and socio-economic contexts. A legal database will be created to facilitate access to and processing of the data collected.

After a master’s degree in international economic policy at Sciences Po Paris, I joined IUEM in 2017 as the PADDLE project manager. The pursuit of a Master degree in environmental law in parallel as well as the contact with research gave me the desire to pursue a thesis!
