Chiara D'Agata

Kort presentation

For my PhD, I am focusing on sustainable fisheries and coastal development from an island perspective. The overall aim of my project is to expand our understanding of coastal habitats, in particular shallow water bays, their role in supporting healthy fisheries, and the factors influencing the broader social-ecological system.

I am supervised by Wiebren Boonstra (UU), Helene Martinsson-Wallin (UU), Sieglind Wallner-Hahn (UU), and Tom Staveley (SLU).

Forskning

For my PhD, I am adopting a multidisciplinary approach, combining ecological surveys with interview studies with stakeholders, to investigate the main social and ecological factors at play in coastal development and fisheries.

My work runs in collaboration with a PhD student from the department of Archaeology and Ancient History at Uppsala University, Beatrice Krooks. Together we investigate how human responses to past challenges and environmental conditions can inform us on the present and help us developing adaptive strategies for a sustainable use of coastal resources.
