As a Latin American Fisheries Fellow at UC Santa Barbara's Bren School for the Environment, Caio is pursuing a specialization in Coastal Marine Resources Management with a primary interest in fisheries and aquaculture. Caio wants to explore questions that will help inform some of the frontiers of aquaculture sustainability, such as feeds, energy and water inputs, responsible control of diseases and genetics, environmental contamination, organism health and nutritional value, and impacts and risk from atypical climatic events. His post-graduate goal is to contribute to broader food security and sustainable fisheries in Brazil and more broadly across Latin America.
