Luís Pereira is a marine biologist specialized in aquatic ecology and conservation. Graduating from the University of Aveiro (Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees), he dedicated his studies to diadromous fish and invasive species in the Minho and Lima rivers, focusing particularly on the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) and its parasite Anguillicola crassus. Author of studies on diadromous fish ecology, has published scientific papers as both author and co-author in specialized journals. Also contributed as a co-author to the book "Natural Values of the Minho River". Currently, he is part of the River and Coastal Ecology research group (CIIMAR) and conducts research for the SILURUS project (ESAS - IPS), which focuses on controlling invasive species in Portuguese rivers. His background includes fieldwork at the Aquamuseu do Rio Minho, where he carried out environmental monitoring and research on aquatic ecosystems. As the leader of the NGO MoLima, he organizes conservation initiatives, environmental education, and awareness campaigns.
