I am a member of the Geneva Ocean Academy (GOA) association.

The goal of GOA is to spread awareness about the critical situation of marine ecosystems and to promote marine conservation efforts, while training the future generations of conservationists through ecology courses, awareness events, outreach in schools, scientific excursions, and SCUBA diving certifications.
In 2016 I participated in a marine biology field excursion with the University of Neuchâtel in El Qoseir, Egypt. I've collected data and analyzed the behaviors of coral reef fishes regarding their diet habits in relation with sedimentation (https://marine-bio.wixsite.com/egypt-field-course/project-1-1).
