Strategic Plan for the Restoration of Marine Ecosystems in Catalonia
PEREMCAT is a pioneering initiative, promoted by the Generalitat de Catalunya, which aims to position Catalonia as a benchmark in the implementation of marine restoration

Given the recent detection of Perkinsus infecting mussels cultivated in the aquaculture area of the Ebro Delta and the lack of knowledge regarding its diversity, distribution, and ecology, this project aims to assess the epidemiological status of the disease Perkinsosis in the mussel aquaculture sector in Catalonia, in order to understand its potential impact.
Our group explores the influence of endogenous population processes and exogenous stochastic forces that drive wildlife population dynamics. We use an empirical approach by monitoring individual and population data in the field to study the behavior of populations at spatial and temporal scales.
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.
Many organisms form social systems, but most research does not consider collective processes to explain their ecological and evolutionary consequences for individuals and populations in stochastic environments. This application will help produce a new synthesis hitherto not considered.
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.
The project will use a socioecological conceptual framework, which will comprehensively evaluate the influence that livestock management dynamics have on herbaceous plant and butterfly communities, which are excellent bioindicators of the conservation status of mountain ecosystems.
MEDCHANGE will use long, detailed and reliable data of relevant structural and functional variables of ecosystems to reconstruct the dynamics of coastal and terrestrial ecosystems, at a Mediterranean scale, when interacting with natural and anthropogenic disturbances.
This project aims to restore damaged populations by incorporating new juvenile individuals raised in laboratory conditions and establish new restoration protocols that do not spoil existing populations.
The Ocean Citizen project represents a new approach to restoration in which restoration is presented as a toolbox with ubiquitous properties and, as such, is experienced in three locations, representing different marine ecosystems and different environments.
