Annie Fiandrino

Annie Fiandrino is a Researcher at the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea (Ifremer), working within the Laboratoire Environnement Ressources (LER) in Languedoc-Roussillon. With over 15 years of continuous research activity documented from 2009 to projected 2026 publications, she has established herself as a key expert in Mediterranean coastal lagoon ecosystems.

Her research focuses on coastal lagoon ecosystems, with particular expertise in phytoplankton dynamics, eutrophication processes, and the environmental impacts of aquaculture. Dr. Fiandrino has made significant contributions to the development and application of the GAMELag model, a specialized tool for studying Mediterranean lagoon ecosystem functioning. She is actively involved in major monitoring programs including OBSLAG (for Mediterranean lagoons), REPHY (French national phytoplankton monitoring), and the Réseau de Suivi Lagunaire (Lagoon Monitoring Network) in southern France.

Recent research trends show her expanding work on tropical environments and fish farming impacts, while maintaining strong focus on Mediterranean systems. Her work demonstrates consistent collaboration with researchers across multiple institutions, with frequent co-authorship on studies addressing water quality, nutrient cycling, and sustainable aquaculture practices.

Dr. Fiandrino's scientific contributions span numerous publications in prestigious journals including Marine Pollution Bulletin, Science of the Total Environment, and Aquaculture, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of her work that bridges marine ecology, environmental modeling, and coastal management.

Her research has direct applications for environmental management, providing scientific foundations for decision-making in coastal zone management, particularly regarding aquaculture development, water quality assessment, and ecosystem restoration in Mediterranean lagoons.
