Evaluation and assessment of the potential ecological and social impacts of offshore wind farms in areas of high Biodiversity and high Landscape value: the example of Cap de Creus/Golf de Roses(BIOPAIS)

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.

Baseline study on the situation of native naiads in Catalonia for the future drafting of its recovery plan – PHASE II (NAIADES II)

Naiads or large freshwater bivalves (Mollusca, Bivalvia, Unionoidea) are currently considered one of the most endangered animal groups on the planet. The NÀIADES project aims to generate the knowledge necessary to prepare the recovery plan for this group of animals in Catalonia.

Towards understanding the temporal dimension of the bioinvasion process: implications for restoration (TEMPOINVASIONS)

TEMPOINVASIONS will use the most advanced molecular tools to analyze sedimentary sequences from well-preserved sites along the Spanish coast (Bay of Cádiz, Cabo de Gata, Ebro Delta). We will focus on the last six centuries since the major translocation of marine species began due to the beginning of transoceanic exploration.

Environmental changes in coastal ecosystems in response to anthropogenic drivers during the holocene (HOLOCENO)

Change in ecosystems occurs over multiple temporal and spatial scales. Discriminating between actual changes, cycles and trends is often difficult or impossible without an adequate temporal perspective, since multiple processes interact at multiple temporal and spatial scales.

Seafloor Intelligent Robot Exploration and Classification (SIREC)

Per dotar els robots submarins de més autonomia i capacitats, aquest projecte busca millorar i potenciar les seves capacitats cognitives i intel·ligents durant l’exploració del fons marí. SIREC treballarà en primer lloc el mapeig de praderies marines de Posidonia oceànica, un component important dels ecosistemes vinculats al segrest de carboni i, per tant, de gran impacte ambiental i social.

Impact of habitat fragmentation and loss on coastal ecosystems and implications for sustainable management under climate change (COASTFRAG)

Blue Forests, such as macroalgal forests, seagrass meadows, salt marshes and mangroves, are vegetated coastal habitats that cover enormous areas around the world, providing various types of ecosystem services.

Studying marine biodiversity (BIOcean5D)

The overall objective of BIOcean5D is to generate the data, knowledge, theory, monitoring and modeling tools necessary to sustainably measure, understand, value and predict marine biodiversity in the five dimensions (5D) of space, time and pressures. human environments, allowing ecosystem-based management and long-term preservation.

Monitoring marine biodiversity for Europe (MBON Europe)

The lack of a permanently coordinated marine biodiversity monitoring community in Europe undermines the good research of many scientists and projects in the past, as it is not possible to easily find out where and what biodiversity is being monitored. MBON Europe’s goal is to solve this problem.

Managing sustainable sea urchin fishery and marine forest conservation (MUrFor)

The effective assembly and integration of socio-ecological systems around marine forest habitats will allow the identification of optimal balance scenarios between the long-term conservation of coastal benthic ecosystems and the viability of small-scale fisheries for both sea urchins and of their predatory fish.
