Current Research:
I work on recreational fisheries and social media, combining ecology with social sciences. Our research focuses on leveraging publicly shared data by fishers on social media to monitor the status of commercial species in the Mediterranean. By using geo-referenced videos and images, we gather valuable information on species distribution and populations trends. Our long-term goal is to scale this approach by developing a pipeline incorporating machine learning to automate the categorization of species and fishing techniques.
