Marina Costa is a marine biologist and oceanographer with 15 years of field experience in coral reef restoration and sustainable fisheries management. She holds a Master's in Marine Ecology and consults for global NGOs on ocean acidification and marine protected areas.
Marina has spent her career underwater and in the lab, studying the symbiotic relationships that sustain marine life and the devastating impacts of chemical imbalances like acidification. Her expertise covers the physiological stress of marine organisms, from coral polyps to apex predators, and she actively designs protocols for restoring seagrass beds and mangrove nurseries. Marina's writing bridges the gap between complex marine chemistry and practical conservation strategies, aiming to empower fishery managers and coastal developers to protect the biotic web. She advocates for science-based quotas to prevent the collapse of keystone species populations.
