Short CV
Arturo Zenone has gained many years of experience in the main underwater sampling techniques and in the main sampling and survey methods currently in use in marine biology and ecology and in coastal oceanography. He has experience in the design and use of bio-loggers, in ultrasonic telemetry techniques, in field and mesocosm experiments with marine organisms and in the study of marine phanerogams. He has applied techniques for analyzing the effectiveness of environmental governance models and for analyzing local ecological knowledge.
