Emma Cebrian holds a PhD in marine ecology and biology. Her research focuses on the application of marine community ecology to the conservation and restoration of Mediterranean marine ecosystems. Examples include incorporating an understanding of biodiversity patterns, interactions between species, links between habitats and species, and quantifying the cumulative impacts of multiple impacts derived from human activities. More recently, she has also focused on exploring new active restoration techniques for the recovery of keystone species and the habitats they provide.
