Profile Summary

PhD in Population Biology and Ecology, Tony Gardon specializes in ecotoxicology and aquatic systems. For more than ten years, he has bridged science, fieldwork, and institutional stakeholders to strengthen practices, optimize processes, and address environmental challenges. His career—ranging from aquaculture production to fundamental research on anthropogenic contaminants and ecosystem health—has enabled him to develop cross-cutting expertise in project management, zootechnics, experimental design, data analysis, and knowledge transfer, supported by extensive field experience. Building on professional experience within the Marine Resources Department of French Polynesia (DRM), IFREMER, CRIOBE, IRD, and the University of French Polynesia, he has established a broad network in Polynesia and internationally, and produced recognized work spanning environmental diagnostics to the formulation of recommendations for public policy. He now leverages this expertise through a scientific and technical consulting firm dedicated to agro-environment, aquaculture, fisheries, and health-related sectors, with the aim of acquiring, measuring, analyzing, and transforming complex data into operational, strategic, and immediately actionable solutions for public and private stakeholders.
