A dedicated and experienced Oceanographer with over a decade of expertise in marine ecosystem analysis, coastal management, and climate change impact studies. Specializing in the unique marine environments of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), particularly Abu Dhabi, I have contributed to sustainable development initiatives that align with UAE Vision 2021 and the National Emmissions Strategy. My work focuses on preserving biodiversity, advancing marine research, and fostering collaboration between scientific communities and local stakeholders in the Gulf region. As an Oceanographer in Abu Dhabi, I am committed to addressing global challenges such as ocean acidification, sea-level rise, and pollution through innovative data-driven solutions.
