Research Interests
Since 1982, Felimon Gayanilo (usually called Nonong) has designed and developed several scientific software packages from a compendium of over 100 analytical models for tropical and multi-species fisheries stock assessment applications; these are now used by many learning and research institutions and organizations for fisheries assessment and management. Nonong has also developed Geographic Information Systems (GIS)-based tools for coastal management applications. These includes among others, the Data Navigator for South Florida (DNav: South Florida) and the Bahamas Online Digital Map Atlas that is being developed as part of the Bahamas Biocomplexity Project.
