I am a PhD student at the Oceanographic Centre of Murcia (IEO-CSIC) in Spain, working on the restoration of Ostrea edulis in the Mar Menor as part of the Mar Menor Oyster Initiative (MMOI). My academic and personal interests are deeply rooted in marine ecosystem restoration, particularly in how native oyster beds can support biodiversity, improve water quality, and provide resilience to coastal environments. I am especially drawn to NORA as a collaborative platform that connects researchers and practitioners across Europe, fostering knowledge exchange and best practices. Being part of the network would allow me to learn from other restoration projects, contribute insights from our Mediterranean case study, and grow as an early-career scientist committed to nature-based solutions and long-term ecological recovery.
