Annette Breckwoldt
Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research, Germany
As an interdisciplinary scientist with a background in marine biology and coastal social-ecological systems analysis, Annette works towards combining ecological and social science approaches in order to actively support the participatory, inter- and transdisciplinary integration of academic and ecosystem user knowledge on marine resources and their various functions.
By understanding the everyday challenges of diverse stakeholders in coastal environments, pathways can be found for marine resource use, adaptive management, and ecosystem resilience and protection. At present, she leads the Office for Knowledge Exchange at ZMT, lecturer part-time at the University of Bremen, and works as a guest scientist for science-stakeholder interaction processes at AWI.
