Curated by: Behind The Science Podcast with Paul Flores (146 videos)
Ms. Tara Abrina shares her unique journey into marine economics, her research on coral reef valuation and fisheries value chains, and her experiences in citizen science initiatives in coastal communities. The conversation highlights the importance of integrating scientific research with community engagement while exploring effective methods for coral restoration. Correction: Ms. Tara Abrina graduated with a master's degree in Development Economics. The suffix should therefore be MDE and not M.Sc.
