  • Biography
    Our research addresses fundamental questions regarding the structure and functioning of tropical coastal ecosystems (reef, mangrove, seagrass) and all interactions that support or erode their diversity and resilience. We adopt a system thinking approach to investigate ecological connectivity, emphasizing the importance of understanding the interrelationships between tropical coastal ecosystems and their interactions to terrestrial realms. Additionally, we utilize a socio-ecological system framework to comprehensively analyze the interconnectedness between ecosystems and human well-being. By incorporating system thinking and socioecology, we aim to manage these ecosystems more wisely and sustainably, recognizing their intricate relationships and broader impacts on human societies.
