BlauCat-Current Status and Action Plan for Blue Carbon in Catalonia

The BlauCat project aims to assess the current status of blue carbon in Catalonia’s coastal ecosystems and contribute to the development of an action plan for their conservation and restoration, as a tool to support public policies for climate change mitigation and adaptation. The project will generate a homogeneous and georeferenced database on blue carbon stocks and fluxes at the regional scale, as well as an analysis of the restoration potential of these ecosystems.

Understanding millennial-scale change in Posidonia oceanica ecosystems (POSIDONIArXiv)

The project provides tools to guide the management and restoration of P. oceanica, a key species that stabilises sediments, sequesters CO₂ and provides habitat for numerous species, but which is currently declining due to human impacts.

Temporal dynamics of biological invasions across environmental gradients (ICOOP)

This project is being developed within the framework of an ICOOP grant (a CSIC Scientific Cooperation Program for Development), which aims to stimulate collaboration between CSIC research groups and international research groups in countries receiving Official Development Assistance through training, work, and specialization stays for research groups from participating entities.

Biological invasions across time and space: comparing invasion phases in different aquatic ecosystems

Aquatic non-native species are spreading globally due to human activity, yet little is known about how these invasions occur and evolve. This pioneering project uses environmental DNA (eDNA) to study the phases of biological invasion in various aquatic ecosystems, aiming to better understand these processes and provide tools to tackle the biodiversity crisis.

Spanish Group of Experts in Blue Carbon Ecosystems (G3ECA)

The new Blue Carbon Ecosystems Research Network in Spain brings together experts from across the country to promote the conservation of saltmarshes and seagrass meadows. Its goal is to generate knowledge, advise authorities, and foster policies and projects that harness the potential of BCEs to fight climate change and support sustainability.
