About Sophie Loca
As a Spatial Ecologist, I use data-driven approaches to support marine conservation and sustainable development. I work at the intersection of advanced statistics, GIS, and programming to make sense of complex, often messy data—translating it into clear, practical outputs that can inform both industry practices and conservation policy.
What drives me most is using science to create meaningful impact. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to build strong collaborations across Europe, and I truly value the role of shared knowledge in driving change. My work has ranged from peer-reviewed research and cross-border projects to grey literature and public science communication.
