João M. Neto is a biologist focused on coastal and marine ecosystems. His background began at the University of Coimbra (Portugal), through areas as diverse as the dynamics of macroinvertebrate communities, nutrient mass balance in estuaries and seagrass meadows, and saltmarsh dynamics. Those different research fields improved his knowledge of ecological modeling, eutrophication processes, and restoration and management of estuarine systems, which were the basis of his Ph.D. research (Coimbra, Portugal). His participation in several international projects, and his cooperation with foreign research institutions and Universities, allowed him to increase his know-how and experience in the management of catchment basins and coastal systems. During the latest years, he has been involved in the Water Framework Directive implementation in Europe, namely in developing and harmonizing tools for the assessment of the ecological quality of aquatic systems, through the intercalibration exercise. Apart from his participation in macroinvertebrate, phytoplankton, and fish fauna biological quality elements, he was the coordinator on the Northeast Atlantic Geographical Intercalibration Group of the Macroalgae and Angiosperms working group, for coastal waters, and for Angiosperms (seagrass and saltmarsh), for transitional waters. He has been also involved in European research projects in the scope of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, particularly in developing new assessment tools and monitoring issues. Presently he is contracted at the University of Coimbra as a Researcher in the Department of Life Sciences, developing his work at the research centre MARE - Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre, and at ARNET - Aquatic Research Network, in Coimbra (MARE-UC) and Figueira da Foz (MAREFOZ - Marine Ecosystems Lab), aiming the integration of the ecological processes involved in estuarine and coastal systems. João M. Neto is the scientific coordinator of MAREFOZ - Marine Ecosystems Lab, he integrates the GLOBE Portugal Advisory Board (Science: Ocean & Atmosphere), is representative of the University of Coimbra in the Strategic Council of the Natural Reserve of Berlengas (CERNB), integrated into the Academic party of the Council Elements, is member of the core Marine Group of SIBECOL (Iberian Society of Ecology), and is collaborator of the UC.Space working group in the University of Coimbra.
