Dr. Silva currently works as a member of the University of Bucharest's project Just4MPA.
Dr. Monalisa Silva studied fisheries’ social-ecological systems, including ecology and conservation of fisheries, fisheries management, and fishers’ perceptions of environmental global changes. Her projects seek to understand the relationships between social and ecological systems, and the factors that shape fisheries management and fishers’ adaptations. For this, she uses participatory methods (e.g., questionnaires, meetings, and focus groups), databases (ecological, social, and economic), and multivariate analyses. In general, her research has four focuses: 1) the relationships between human groups and the environment, 2) exploitation and conservation of biodiversity, 3) management/co-management of fisheries resources, and 4) resilience and adaptation in socio-ecological systems.
