2008

Key Elements:

• I worked on the project ecological study of deep coral banks in the Mediterranean so that its proposal was declared a marine reserve.
• As part of my bachelor thesis, I studied deep-sea ecology of submarine canyons at Cap de Creus, analysing remotely operated vehicle (ROV) video transects.
