Raphael Seguin

Raphael Seguin is a researcher at the Marine Biodiversity, Exploration, and Conservation (Marbec) center at the University of Montpellier, specializing in the assessment of fishing activities in marine protected areas (MPAs). His recent study utilized satellite imagery and GPS data to analyze fishing patterns in coastal MPAs, revealing that nearly half of these areas experienced significant illegal fishing activity. Seguin's work underscores the importance of effective monitoring and management strategies in ensuring the integrity of MPAs, advocating for enhanced transparency and stricter regulations to protect marine ecosystems.
