Biography

My research interest being marine biodiversity, I have done masters in Oceanography from Mumbai University. Passion for marine photography and travelling has exposed me to variety of coastal regions in India. My initial research was based on intertidal fauna, their taxanomy, diversity and interrelationship. Subsequently, working in few marine projects has made me aware of the conservation management programmes in coastal India. Having observed the impact and challenges of coastal conservation management, I have broadened my research interest to ecology and conservation management of marine ecosystem. For PhD, my research work will be based on olive ridley turtles from eastern Arabian Sea.
