Research interests

I am currently working on the study of benthic communities in deep environments of the Mediterranean Sea, specially focussing on habitat forming species such as anthzoans and sponges. I am also working on different projects that allow to mitigate the impacts that artisenal fishing is causing on mesophytic communites in the Cap de Creus peninsula (NW Mediterranean).

  Please note that only publications relevant to mesophotic reefs are indexed.
