My line of study lies in projecting the importance and value of natural resources, especially marine resources, and propose strategies and tools that serve for a sustainable and adaptive management of them and thus achieve their conservation for future generations. My Doctoral Thesis project is based on the development of an Atlas of digital interface of the coral reefs of the Caribbean Region of Venezuela as a tool for the conservation and management of these fragile ecosystems and at the same time to raise awareness about their value and importance.
