Leonardo Sánchez Criollo

I am PhD student in the Centre of Ecology at IVIC, where I currently developing a career as a marine ecologist. I am mostly focused on shark ecology research and I beginning to study the phenomenon of declining population of certain shark species in the Caribbean.

Also, since 2003 I have been working with Sotalia guianensis, exploring some genetical aspects of this population. I have organized several courses referer to the ecology and biology of cetaceans and I have participated in scientific research campaigns of this group. I am currently a collaborator of the Sotalia Project.
