Belén QUINTANA MARTíN-MONTALVO

I am a biologist with a background in marine conservation and a growing interest in biodiversity and ecological dynamics across different systems. My work has combined research and community engagement, from studying microplastic pollution and tourism impacts on marine megafauna to promoting responsible, sustainable practices. I enjoy working in multidisciplinary and multicultural environments, where science and collaboration come together to support conservation. My current work is mainly focused on species conservation and on fostering regional initiatives in the Mediterranean to preserve, recover, and protect marine species, while also contributing to broader biodiversity conservation efforts.
