Eleonora Barbaccia

Alumni

Eleonora loves the ocean since she was a child and took her first diving license at the age of 9 years old. She became passionate about sharks as soon as she started her master’s degree in Marine Science at the University of Milano Bicocca, and Pelagios gave her the amazing opportunity to get into the world of shark research and to conduct her master thesis on whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) of La Paz Bay (Mexico). She thanks all the team of Pelagios for sharing their knowledge and their support with fieldwork and data analysis which led to a very successful project. Eleonora is so grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow so much.
