Steering Committee

David M. Kaplan — 2009-01-21T10:19:11Z

The steering committee of the project includes the heads of the 5 Work Packages (WP 0 & 5: David KAPLAN (IRD); WP 1: Capucine MELLON (Ifremer); WP 2: Jean-Marc FROMENTIN (Ifremer); WP 3: Olivier MAURY (IRD); WP 4: Gwenaele PROUTIÈRE-MAULION (CDMO)), as well as two experts outside the project:

Laurent DAGORN, IRD: Head of the EU-funded MADE project to study and mitigate impacts of by-catch on IO ecosystem.
Sylvie GUENETTE, UBC, Canada / AgroCampus, Rennes: Expert in the modeling and study of MPAs, including experience with MPAs for mobile species.

These experts will bring interesting and useful outside perspectives to the project, as well as assure links with related projects.

The project maintains links with representatives from the fishing industry, marine resource managers, and scientists leading other relevant MPA projects. These include:

Bertrand Wendling / Sa.Tho.An & AMOP: Director of the leading fishermen organizations in Languedoc-Roussillon. These organizations represent commercial fishermen in the GL.
Michel Goujon / ORTHONGEL: Director of the principal French organization of commercial tuna fishermen, including the IO fishing fleet.
Indian Ocean Commission (IOC): The IOC has efforts to develop a MPA plan for IOC member countries, including the possibility of offshore MPAs for the region.
Dominique Pelletier, Ifremer: Head of ANR-funded PAMPA project and IFREMER expert on MPAs.
Laurent Dagorn, IRD: Head of the EU-funded MADE project to study and mitigate impacts of by-catch on IO ecosystem.
Raymond Lae, IRD: Head of the ANR-funded AMPHORE project to study MPA efficacy in five coastal reserves in the Mediterranean, Mauritania and Senegal.
