A.Silva holds a PhD in Biology, specializing in Ecology, with a primary focus on marine phytoplankton ecology, particularly Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs). Is a senior researcher at IPMA and research encompasses various fields including phytoplankton taxonomy and physiology, ecology, oceanography, environmental assessment, monitoring services, food safety, capacity building through training, and engagement with stakeholders. Has expertise in screening, identification, and tailored production of microalgae strains. Accounts with several peer-reviewed papers and book chapters. Extensive experience in preparing diverse documents as research projects; peer-reviewed scientific papers and providing scientific support to decision makers. Has contributed to the development of international guidelines on monitoring best practices and early warning systems as well as engaging in citizen-science initiatives. Coordinator of the citizen science program – FitoAvista, dedicated to the monitoring of extreme events of phytoplankton. Actively involved, since 2012, in the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) namely accessing Good Environmental Status (GES) regarding Descriptor 5 - Eutrophication. Recently is co-coordinating the Acidification and Deoxygenation program of National coastal waters (its impact on biological structures such as on coccolithophores). Experience in coordinating teams and projects with ISO accreditation standards. Serves as a FAO consultant for Early Warning Systems and is Chair of the Task Team Early Warning Systems from the IPHAB IOC/UNESCO - Intergovernmental Panel on Harmful Algal Blooms. Is the National delegate of the ICES/UNESCO - WGHABD. Recognized for her contributions to science and innovation as received two awards for an innovative business and society solution and as reviewer with an outstanding recognition. Member of the Editorial board of Toxins-MDPI for section Marine and Freshwater Toxins.

  1. Joint FAO-IOC-IAEA technical guidance for the implementation of early warning systems for harmful algal blooms.. The guidance provides a roadmap for stakeholders on how to improve or implement an EWS for HABs and biotoxins. It is important to note that not all countries and institutions can implement the same level of EWS for HABs, and this guidance is intended mainly for those who seek to broaden existing early warning systems, or who are just beginning to consider putting a system in place. 2023.
