This project is being developed within the framework of an i-COOP 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.
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.
By analyzing the different stages of an invasion (from introduction to expansion), the researchers seek to identify the factors that influence the success of invasive species in various aquatic environments.
A project that applies genetics to study biodiversity in marine ecosystems and detect invasive species.
Monitoring of marine biodiversity using environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques, early detection of exotic species with invasive potential, and other genomic applications that can be used for marine biodiversity conservation.
The objective of this contract is to carry out an evaluation of the current information that allows carrying out the necessary studies to carry out the spatial analysis of the nautical load capacity on the Costa Brava.
For marine strategies of the State. Improvement of scientific knowledge about the state of the marine environment at the national level.
Evaluation of the potential ecological and social impacts of offshore wind farms in areas of high biodiversity and great landscape value of the Spanish Mediterranean, taking as a case study the wind farm proposed in the area of Cap de Creus/Gulf of Roses, to contribute to avoid or minimize the impacts of offshore wind on marine biodiversity and the landscape.
The starting hypothesis of this study is that to develop a sustainable and resilient offshore wind industry in Spain, it is necessary to implement methodologies and regulatory schemes that address the particularities of this technology, referring to the administrative authorization regime, financing schemes, protection and governance of the marine environment, and coexistence with other activities.
The overall goal of NiD4OCEAN is to advance the emerging field of NiDs (and NBS in general) for offshore renewables, and provide effective, context-dependent solutions.
