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.

Business for Ocean Sustainability is a multi-year research project. Explore the relationship between business and ocean sustainability.

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.

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.

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.

The project, with an explicitly interdisciplinary vocation, seeks, first of all, to document the role of storms as agents of change for Mediterranean coastal vegetation, both emerged and submerged (underwater meadows, marsh vegetation and dunes).

The main objective of the EFFECTIVE research project is to develop a comprehensive scientific knowledge base and practical guidance for the conservation and restoration of marine protected areas (MPA’s) of the Mediterranean Sea.
