I am a marine biologist with a focus on fisheries conservation and the ecosystem approach to fisheries. My current researches focuses on estimating reference points using multiple tools for best management practices of data-limited fish stocks. I am particularly interested in ecosystem approach to fisheries management by using different models to determine status of ecosystem and fisheries resources.  First, I use fisheries biology to better understand life history and ecological roles of commercial species, and second, I employ relationships with environmental conditions and ecosystem changes to identify indicators and reference points for fisheries.
