Mes travaux de recherche s’inscrivent dans le contexte général de conflits d’usage entre l’Homme et les espèces animales. J’utilise des approches interdisciplinaires pour évaluer et comprendre les conflits entre pêcheries et mégafaune marine, et développer des solutions durables de coexistence. En particulier, une grande partie de mes travaux se concentre sur l’étude du comportement de déprédation (espèces se nourrissant sur les captures de pêche) des mammifères marins et requins, et sur l’identification de changements dans la pratique de pêche permettant de minimiser, de manière durable, les impacts écologique et socio-économique de ce conflit global.
