The natural conservation of coastal lagoons is important not only for their ecological importance, but also because the valuable ecosystem services they provide human welfare and wellbeing. Coastal are shallow semi-enclosed systems that support habitats such as wetlands, mangroves, salt-marshes seagrass meadows, well a rich biodiversity. complex social-ecological with livelihoods, wellbeing to humans. This study assessed, quantified valued 32 lagoons. main findings are: (i) definitions still...
Fisheries catches represent a net export of mass and energy that can no longer be used by trophic levels higher than those fished. Thus, exploitation implies depletion secondary production (here the herbivores carnivores in ecosystem) due to removal prey. The biomass through was recently formulated as proxy for evaluating ecosystem impacts fishing–i.e., level overfishing. Here we evaluate historical current risk overfishing at global scale quantifying using best available fisheries...

Abstract Modern approaches to Ecosystem-Based Management and sustainable use of marine resources must account for the myriad pressures (interspecies, human environmental) affecting ecosystems. The network feeding interactions between co-existing species populations (food webs) are an important aspect all ecosystems biodiversity. Here we describe discuss a process evaluate selection operational food-web indicators in evaluating ecosystem status. This brought together experts ecology, resource...
The rapido is a towed gear used only in the Adriatic Sea for fishing scallops sandy offshore areas and flatfish muddy inshore areas. expected to have high impact on entire benthic community, mainly epifauna organisms living upper sediment layers. To obtain information likely medium- long-term effects of trawl northern Sea, an experiment immediate/short-term was carried out undisturbed area near wreck. produced flat tracks bottom that were still clearly visible after week by means sidescan...
In the Mediterranean Sea, structured and standardized monitoring programs of marine resources were set only in last decades, so need to analyze changes communities over longer time scale has rely on different sources. this work, we used seven decades (1945-2014) disaggregated landing statistics for Northern Adriatic Sea (Mediterranean) infer ecosystem. Analysis landings composition was enriched with application a suite ecological indicators (e.g., trophodynamic indicators, such as primary...
Changing marine temperatures modify the distributional ranges of natural populations, but success invasion new areas depends on local physical and ecological conditions. We explore by thermophilic species their ecosystem effects simulating a sea surface temperature increase using trophodynamic model for northern Adriatic Sea (NAS), in which thermal trophic niches are explicitly represented each non-indigenous native species. The NAS acts as cul-de-sac species, preventing further poleward...
It is widely recognized that contact with Nature has a positive impact on our mental well-being. However, quantifying these benefits not always straightforward: psychological are commonly assessed using subjective tools, and establishing precise cognitive response associated the feeling of well-being difficult. Furthermore, existing research primarily focused effects terrestrial landscapes, such as forests urban parks, neglecting other types ecosystems. As result, potential aquatic...
Abstract In the Venice Lagoon, clam (Tapes philippinarum) harvesting is carried out mainly by means of a gear locally called “rusca”, developed local fishermen. The rusca consists an iron cage, outboard engine propeller, which produces water flow directed onto bottom suspending sediments and fauna, net bag where clams are collected. aim this study was to provide analysis immediate effects fishing on wide spectrum ecosystem compartments: sediment biogeochemistry, resuspension, macro-...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has brought a global socio-economic crisis to almost all sectors including the fishery. To limit infection, governments adopted several containment measures. In Italy, Croatia, and Slovenia, lockdown period was imposed from March May 2020, during which many activities, restaurants had close or their business. All of this caused strong reduction in seafood requests consequently, decrease fishing activities. aim study is investigate effects COVID-19...
