It is hoped that this pioneering technology &#8220;will make it possible to use marine infrastructures and turn them into vectors of renaturalisation&#8221;, says\u00a0Anna Lloveras, CSO of Ocean Ecoestructures.<\/p>\n<h4>Recovering marine forests<\/h4>\n<p><em>Cystoseira<\/em>\u00a0are a family of macroalgae from temperate regions such as the Mediterranean. They are structural algae, that is, they offer shelter and habitat to many invertebrate organisms, fish and other smaller algae or marine lichens, which grow on them. They form forests from the surface to a depth of 60 meters and are indicators of good water quality.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, they are very sensitive species, and currently are strongly threatened and in decline. Some sources indicate that 80% of Cystoseira&#8217;s forests have been lost or are at a critical point, so scientists have been studying conservation and restoration strategies.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Emma Cebri\u00e1n,<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>a researcher at the CEAB-CSIC, explains that &#8220;<em>some time ago we managed to describe a non-destructive restoration method, which allow us to take fragments of the algae at the time when are fertile enough, to &#8216;seed&#8217; them in the laboratory and transplant them into their natural ecosystem<\/em>&#8220;. \u00a0Now, this technique is being implemented<\/strong> through a public-private collaboration agreement with Ocean Ecoestructures.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>SEAREG project addresses all stages of the replanting process, including the collection of fertile fragments in natural environments, from which new algae can reproduce. The propagules are grown under controlled laboratory conditions, to optimize the factors that favour their development.<\/p>\n<p>A fundamental step is the design and adaptation of the pre-seeding system, developed by Ocean Ecoestructures, to facilitate the settlement of recruits. The system has been adjusted to be compatible with different species and phases of the life cycle of\u00a0<em>Cystoseira<\/em>\u00a0algae, in collaboration with the CEAB-CSIC team.<\/p>\n<p>However, work is also being done to adjust it to\u00a0<em>Posidonia oceanica<\/em>\u00a0and gorgonians, which have a slower growth. For these, researchers from the delInstituto de Ciencias del Mar (ICM-CSIC\u00a0and from the\u00a0Instituto Mediterr\u00e1neo de Estudios Avanzados (IMEDEA),\u00a0-a joint centre of the CSIC and the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB)- are collaborating.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>The system has been adjusted to be compatible with different species and phases of the life cycle of\u00a0<em>Cystoseira<\/em>\u00a0algae.

As the company explains, they have a multi-layer design to generate a &#8220;nursery effect&#8221; that facilitates the growth of fish and crustaceans, as well as a specific fixing system that allows them to be placed on any surface without interfering with port operations or offshore platforms.<\/p>\n<p>LBUs are already marketed, as other products of the company, such as Seabed Units. The development of the SEAREG methodology is in the phase of validation and optimization.&#8221;<em>We already have more than 300 LBU installed in commercial marine ports and offshore platforms,<\/em>&#8221; explains Anna Lloveras. &#8220;<em>Additionally, we have designed a system that is easy and quick to install. The biggest challenge today is the production time, since we use an electrolytic system that covers the mineral structures, basically calcium carbonate, and it is a slow process, which lasts from 4 to 6 months<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<h4>Installation of the structures<\/h4>\n<p>Anna Lloveras explains that &#8220;<em>the solutions that are being developed must be a tool for replanting to be scalable, so the cost and efficiency variables are important<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, the system is being designed to be able to install the preseeding units using remotely operated vehicles or ROVs (Remoted Operated Vehicle), without the need for divers.<\/p>\n<p>In this sense, different partners collaborate in all phases of the project. CSIC researchers are the ones who have the knowledge of ecology and also the experience of reforestation, so &#8220;<em>we work with them to adapt the technique, so that it is scalable and adapts to our system<\/em>,&#8221; says Lloveras. Other partners, such as Eurecat and BCN3Ceramics, help in the development of materials and in the design of the &#8220;most efficient and sustainable tools\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Harbours such as the ones of Barcelona, Bilbao and Algeciras<\/strong> are also partners, where the structures are installed and repopulation tasks are carried out.

If another method is needed to detect invasive species, samples are collected and the <strong>results are confirmed by the group led by\u00a0Xavier Tur\u00f3n\u00a0from the CEAB, experts in monitoring marine biodiversity using DNA<\/strong>. &#8220;<em>We are currently working to incorporate DNA analysis into our protocol to improve the detection of these specie<\/em>s,&#8221; adds Lloveras.<\/p>\n<p>SEAREG <strong>is a first step to &#8220;<em>promote the growth of plant species in artificial substrates.
