Sílvia Pedro

Sílvia Pedro holds a PhD in Biology (specialized in Ecology) from the University of Lisbon. Her main research focus is aquatic ecology, with particular emphasis in management and conservation of diadromous fishes, as well as ecological monitoring (environment contamination, heavy metal dynamics, biogeochemistry of the estuarine environment). Current activity is focused on habitat restoration for diadromous fishes, chiefly through the recovery of river connectivity.
