About Me

• I am a biologist and from 2016 at 2023 I worked at “Area Marina Protetta Isole Pelagie” within conservation projects, environmental monitoring programs, awareness and communication activities and event planning. From the same year, I have been collaborating in the Scopoli’s shearwater monitoring in Linosa and since 2018 I have also been monitoring the breeding colony in Lampione.
  Here, my research focuses on evaluating the limiting factors and threats to shearwaters and on identifying tailored conservation strategies for reducing such impacts and enhancing their conservation status.
  Moreover, since 2018 I also study the Yelkouan shearwater (Puffinus yelkouan) breeding in Lampedusa.
  Finally, I currently collaborate with Birdlife Italy carrying out on-board observations on fishery vessels to quantify seabird bycatch rate, within the Med Bycatch program.
