Marina DOLBETH

Marina Dolbeth is an Assistant Researcher at CIIMAR-UP. Her work focuses on the structure and functioning of aquatic ecosystems under natural, anthropogenic and climatic changes. She has worked with benthic communities to understand the consequences of changing diversity on the functioning of coastal ecosystems and how this information can inform environmental management decisions. Currently, she works with habitat-forming species as nature-based solutions to climate change mitigation and adaptation, as well as Ocean literacy initiatives.
