Research and environmental education activities include shipboard research on humpback whales, involving behavioral observations, biopsies, photo-identification, completion of field forms, and bioacoustic recordings. They also involve handling and recording marine mammal strandings, assisting in the rescue of live animals, performing necropsies, collecting biological material, and studying and organizing the osteological collection. The research includes data collection on behavior, habitat… Show more Research and environmental education activities include shipboard research on humpback whales, involving behavioral observations, biopsies, photo-identification, completion of field forms, and bioacoustic recordings. They also involve handling and recording marine mammal strandings, assisting in the rescue of live animals, performing necropsies, collecting biological material, and studying and organizing the osteological collection. The research includes data collection on behavior, habitat use, and population estimation of gray dolphins. Additional tasks include organizing and cleaning equipment, preparing research cruise logistics, entering collected data, and reading and interpreting scientific articles. Furthermore, direct engagement with communities is conducted through environmental education in schools, including classes, lectures, workshops, and office activities. Show less

Conducting studies on coastal vulnerability and associated risks, providing a critical perspective on environmental management. This research integrates physical, social, and environmental dimensions to address the unique characteristics of coastal environments. Key areas of focus include littoral dynamics, coastal erosion and flooding, sea level rise, population distribution, coastal urban density, and seasonal tourism. The analysis also involves monitoring coastal changes using #CoastSnapPero… Show more Conducting studies on coastal vulnerability and associated risks, providing a critical perspective on environmental management.
