This report aims at describing my professional experience and demonstrating the competences developed between 2008 and 2016, after conclusion of the degree in Marine Biology and Fisheries from the University of Algarve, in order to obtain the Master Degree in Marine Biology (“Despacho reitoral 033/2011: Licenciados Pré-Bolonha"). For almost 8 years, I have been employed by the Coastal & Marine Union (EUCC), in the Netherlands, one of the largest international associations dedicated to coastal and marine conservation and sustainable management. During this period, I gained extensive experience on project design, management and implementation but also communication activities and participatory approaches. I worked specifically on topics such as sustainable tourism, Integrated Coastal Zone Management and adaptation to Climate Change. In the last 5 years I built solid expertise on the issue of marine litter, in the fields of European policy development and implementation, societal awareness and stakeholder engagement. The report sustains my contribution to an improved position of European society in dealing with marine litter, in particular through a better integration of science in society and policies. This includes my participation in an expert group, contribution to 2 studies commissioned by the European Commission, contribution to the setup and implementation of the European projects MARLISCO and CleanSea. Between 2009 and 2016, I published 2 papers in peer-reviewed journals (including one as first author); was an oral speaker in 7 international conferences and co-author in 2 other oral presentations; had 3 summaries published in the Conference Proceedings; was co-author in 4 technical reports published by the European Joint Research Centre (including lead author in one of them); co-author in 2 studies commissioned by the European Commission; co-author in 2 brochures on marine litter for policy-makers.
