My professional practice integrates two areas of knowledge: Marine Sciences and Scientific Communication. Undergraduate biologist, the line of research in marine sciences started since graduation continues until today with studies of trophic ecology, population ecology, community ecology and, more recently, with interdisciplinary approaches in marine science, researching the interface between ecology, oceanography, marine pollution, coastal management and socioecological and economic aspects. Key topics of interest in this area are how patterns and processes of marine communities are influenced by multiple stressors in the coastal zone at different scales of space and time. In 2012 I was hired at UNIFESP for methodology and scientific communication and, since then, I have been developing an academic career in this area. In addition to lectures and undergraduate and postgraduate courses, I am a consultant to the British Council for Scientific Communication workshops, coaching the finalists of national competitions (Famelab / British Council and ScienceSlam / Euraxess) in 2018, participating in the Network of Experts in Conservation and Communication of the Boticário Group Foundation. More recently I integrated the two lines of research to act in the science-public policy-society interface. The goal is to understand how scientific communication can strengthen decision making and engagement between university and society and which methods are most effective. From this line was created the project "Tide of Science" where the Citizen Science and Participatory Public Policy Programs for the coastal zone are being developed. Currently, I contribute in different spheres of management and consolidation of the UNIFESP Institute of Marine Sciences and in strengthening its proposal on interdisciplinarity in the Marine Sciences. I am participant in different Brazilian networks and projects; I am one of the Brazilian representatives in the UN Regular Process for the Marine Environment Assessment, including socio-economic aspects, and responsible for the project (CNPq) to develop the Brazilian Communication Strategy for the Ocean Decade, in partnership with UNESCO and the Boticário Group Foundation. My performance is through an extensive network of national and international collaborations, highlighting the intensive investment in the consolidation of partnerships between Brazil and the United Kingdom over the last 10 years, with a vision of internationalization that goes beyond punctual and own partnerships research group, but generating opportunities that culminated in funding, projects and publications among other collaborators. Leadership and interdisciplinary work in these areas are represented in the professional history by dozens of scientific and dissemination articles, chapters and fundraising, together with the formation of human resources and the consolidation of a group of excellence integrating research in the areas of Marine Sciences and Scientific Communication and understanding qualified scientific production not as the end of the scientific process, but as the means of transformation of society.

Life on earth depends on healthy oceans. But our oceans are in decline. There is mounting pressure on finite marine resources because of the increasing number of competing activities, technological advances, and over-exploitation, pollution and climate change. Conflicts about how to harness benefits from marine resources are widespread, intensifying, and unfolding in unprecedented ways. T…
This proposal addresses interdisciplinary questions to integrate researchers, decision makers and local communities to develop a program for Innovative Public Policies with social relevance for coastal biodiversity conservation. Our main goal is to develop knowledge and skills and support the production of participative public policies built on the visions of a range of different stakehol…
The strength of ecological interactions among species is of fundamental importance in determining community dynamics and the functioning of ecosystems. In marine systems environmental mediation of the strength of ecological interactions can be driven by thermal stress, wave action, upwelling, ocean currents and other factors that may operate through effects at the population level or in d…

Mangroves are known to be productive environments that play important ecological functions, such as, for example, nursery for marine life, protection of the coastline, carbon sink and the production of fishery resources. Although the productivity of mangroves is an ecosystem service of great value, studies on this subject are mainly focused on the investigation of primary production. Howe…
There is a change to integrate actions and conflicts from local and regional levels to the national level. Understanding how processes and power and in different levels and how they can influence on the sustainability and stakeholders participation is a key step to develop more participative processes and to allow the small groups to influence in the process. The recognition of the unequa…
The Brazilian cross-level ocean governance transformation case study offers the Consortium a possibility of changing the game on how the country governs its entire Exclusive Economic Zone. Supported by a range of inter- and transdisciplinary activities facilitated by the OCEANS PACT team, dozens of early career researchers, fishers' leaders and related organizations will be mobilized to e…

In this study, we will investigate the relationship between the concentration of metals in the environment and organisms (species and functional groups) of rocky shores in areas under different levels of pollution impact. Metals constitute a complex group of chemical elements, with high resilience in the physical environment and in organisms. Its presence in organic and inorganic forms ha…

Heatwaves are climatic events that are associated with abnormally higher temperatures for an extended period. It is expected that they might become more intense, longer, and more frequent in the future. An important model ecosystem for observing the effect of heatwaves in benthic organisms is the rocky intertidal zone. Although many studies are focusing on the effect of heatwaves in coast…
Trophic interactions are fundamental in the regulation of ecological communities. While research has made significant advances in elucidating the relationship between natural environmental variation and biotic interactions, the effects of anthropogenic stressors on these ecological processes is relatively under-studied. This is an important requirement in a world under extensive and growi…
Cities are expanding worldwide as human population is increasing exponentially. Urbanization is spreading uneven on land with a rapid occupation of the coast line, which currently poses a major threat to marine biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. The main problems associated with urban sprawl in the marine environment are the increased pollution and the replacement of natural shores …
