I am a postdoctoral associate at the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS).
Research themes
- Property rights and marine industry dynamics
- Governance of transnational aquaculture firms
- Community well‑being under changing ownership structures
These topics matter as global reliance on ocean resources intensifies.
Read reflections on marine economics, policy, and data analysis in my latest posts.
Current project
I am co‑investigator on Seagrass Conservation on Florida’s Nature Coast, quantifying the ecological and economic costs of propeller scarring in critical habitats.
Project details.
