- Marine fisheries environment
- Primary productivity, seaweed mariculture
- Coastal pollution and impact assessment
Joined Agricultural Research Service in January 1985 and started my career in primary productivity, seaweed culture and utilization and coastal pollution along with the team of scientists from the Fishery Environment and Management Division. Later worked on the diversity and conservation of marine floral bioresources such as mangroves, seagrasses, seaweeds and phytoplankton. Currently working on impacts of climate change, carbon sequestration and marine litter and their impacts
