My research focuses on the study of the functioning of exploited tropical and Mediterranean coastal marine ecosystems. I have a generalist approach to trophic ecology, combining field and laboratory work with the use of trophic and statistical models. The main objective of my research activities at IRD is to contribute to the management of marine resources in the context of the ecosystem approach in order to reconcile conservation and sustainable exploitation. My work, some of which is resolutely multidisciplinary, has been carried out mainly in partnership with Senegal, Tunisia and more recently Brazil and Gabon.
I have been responsible for various scientific programmes dedicated to the study of the functioning of an archetypal Mediterranean ecosystem, the Gulf of Gabes. I am currently coordinating several national and international multidisciplinary projects (mangrove ecosystems in Gabon, impact of offshore wind turbines), I have also been in charge of several working groups in national and international projects.
