Karine holds a Masters Degree in Oceanography and a Post-graduate Certificate in Fisheries Science. She studied more than two years at an oceanographic research institute (Maurice Lamontagne Institute) in Rimouski (Québec) and followed a specialization in fishery sciences at the Grande Ecole of Rennes Agronomy Complex (ENSAR-France). She worked 6 months with IRD at the Centre de Recherche Méditerranéenne et Tropicale (CRHMT) in Sète (France) studying the impact of climate on Atlantic tuna populations as part of a training course. She first came in Nouméa in 2004 to start a ZoNéCo professional contract in collaboration with SPC concerning the effect of seasonal and inter-annual environmental variability on tuna catches in the New Caledonia EEZ. She also worked for the Pelagic Fisheries Research Program project within OFP-EMA section, focusing on climatic regime shifts and tuna recruitment in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean. She is currently working on the European Union 9th EDF-Scifish project implemented by OFP over the period 2008-2011. The work mainly consists in undertaking analysis of large datasets (from environmental models and logsheet data) to estimate the impact of local exploitation and oceanographic variation on fishery performance and tuna population dynamics (South Pacific albacore tuna) in the WCPO countries including New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna and French Polynesia EEZ. |
