The main objective of MEDSEAPLAN is to develop a comprehensive tool based on scientific knowledge for the application of the Ecosystem-based Approach to be used in PEM processes with the intention of promoting a Sustainable Blue Economy in the Mediterranean.
Business for Ocean Sustainability is a multi-year research project. Explore the relationship between business and ocean sustainability.
The research is closely linked to the effects of global change and how it can erode the resilience of habitat engineers such as macroalgae. It seeks to propose conservation priorities and contribute to preventing and avoiding the collapse of marine ecosystems.
Research project to evaluate the effects of anthropogenic pressures on ecosystems, including the detection and monitoring of invasive species, the consequences of increasing temperatures and eutrophication, among others.
The development of effective strategies for the conservation of Cystoseira residual forests based on new tools to monitor them is of fundamental importance today. This project has been designed to provide these tools and assist environmental policy makers in the management of Cystoseira forests.
SponBIODIV’s main goal is to establish a sponge diversity and distribution baseline knowledge, as well as delivering tools to improve management and conservation of sponges across the Atlantic and Mediterranean.
The research project studies the role of sponges in the marine silicon cycle, with emphasis on silicon production and turnover, and exploring possible biotechnological applications.
Fractionation of silicon isotopes using sponges for biotechnology.
The Distributed System of Scientific Collections (DiSSCo) is a distributed research infrastructure (RI) working towards the digital unification of all European natural science assets under common conservation and access policies and practices to easily realize FAIR data.
The main objective is to combine artificial reefs based on the innovative Biorock technology with filter-feeding or suspension-feeding benthic organisms (e.g., sponges, ascidians, annelids, scleractinians, hydroidolines, bryozoans) to bioremediate coastal seabeds.
