Skills
I am a marine biologist at the African Aquatic Conservation Fund (AACF) and a member of the CCAHD. I have over five years of experience in marine and aquatic mammal conservation, focusing on Atlantic humpback dolphins in Senegal and African manatees in Guinea. My work includes photo-identification, population monitoring, acoustic surveys, bycatch risk assessment, eDNA sampling, and data management using GIS and R. I have strong skills in stakeholder engagement, community collaboration, and working with marine protected areas. I combine scientific research with practical conservation tools, applying innovative methods like eDNA, GIS, and R to improve the protection of rare and endangered aquatic species. I'm also a certified diver
