Biography
On March 1 , 2024 I successfully defended my PhD thesis titled: "Casting for Knowledge and Landing Understanding: Exploring the management of Swedish recreational fisheries as social-ecological systems."
My current research interests focus on the socio-ecological relationships, stewardship, and governance issues surrounding the conservation and management of marine and freshwater resources, with a particular emphasis on recreational fisheries. This includes the development and communication of best practice information for performing catch-and-release, the coordination of fishery management across watersheds, and species diversity and bycatch in recreational fisheries.
I completed my MSc in Renewable Resources at McGill University. My thesis focused on an investigation of the ecosystem services linking mangrove forests and human well-being southwest Madagascar. After obtaining my MSc I worked as a field scientist for Blue Ventures in Madagascar, co-ordinating the monitoring of coral reef ecosystems with community based management of marine resources. From 2015 until starting my doctoral studies I have worked with the Energy and Technology Department at SLU on a project focusing on the use of fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) to convert organic waste into a valuable and protein rich product.

Sea trout: Angling & Catch-and-Release
Many people enjoy fishing for sea trout and other fish along our coasts. Together with the county administrations, we have produced instructional videos on how to release fish as well as possible.
