Elena (Madrid 1973) has recently completed her PhD on the population dynamics of Posidonia oceanica meadows in the face of climate change, at the University of the Balearic Islands. She has also coordinated the EU project Life+Posidonia Andalucia. She now applies her experience with this habitat and Life projects, as well as her knowledge of seagrasses in Andalucia, to the Life Blue Natura project, which aims to quantify the blue carbon deposits and sinks formed by Andalusian seagrasses and coastal saltmarshes.

Born in Madrid in 1973, Elena is completing her doctoral studies on population dynamics in grasslands of Posidonia oceanica at the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB). He has coordinated the Life+Posidonia Andalucia project and worked on other conservation projects at the IUCN Mediterranean Cooperation Centre. He has collaborated in the technical coordination of the Life Blue Natura project, aimed at quantifying the accumulation and storage of blue carbon in Andalusian seagrass meadows and marshes, and establishing financing mechanisms for their restoration through funds for climate change mitigation and adaptation.
