Overview
Mialy is a human geographer with a focus on natural resources management and ocean governance. She investigated the power relations behind tuna fisheries management in Madagascar, Mauritius, and Seychelles, using political ecology as a theoretical framework. She also looked at the implementation of the UN SDG 14 (life under water) at the global and regional Western Indian Ocean levels. Her recent work included mobilising the Transformative Change Assessment from the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) to analyse the challenges and barriers to transformation in fisheries governance.
She is currently the Science-Policy Officer at the Geneva Science-Policy Interface. Her work consists of developing capacity-building activities to help researchers and other actors involved in global policy engagement. She also contributes to various events bridging science and multilateral policy in Geneva.
While the ocean is often out of sight, many aspects of our daily lives (the state of the climate, the fish we buy, the goods transported from afar) are connected to the ocean.
