Bioconstructions such as coralligenous outcrops and maërl beds are typical Mediterranean underwater seascapes. Fine-scale knowledge on the distribution of these sensitive habitats is crucial for their effective management conservation. In present study, a thorough review existing spatial datasets showing across Sea was undertaken, highlighting current gaps in knowledge. Predictive modelling then carried out, based environmental predictors, to produce first continuous maps two entire basin....

Macroalgal forests are one of the most productive and valuable marine ecosystems, but yet strongly exposed to fragmentation loss. Detailed large-scale information on their distribution is largely lacking, hindering conservation initiatives. In this study, a systematic effort combine spatial data Cystoseira C. Agardh canopies (Fucales, Phaeophyta) was carried out develop Habitat Suitability Model (HSM) at Mediterranean scale, providing critical tools improve site prioritization for...

Restoration is considered an effective strategy to accelerate the recovery of biological communities at local scale. However, effects restoration actions in marine ecosystems are still unpredictable. We performed a global analysis published literature identify factors increasing probability success coastal and systems. Our results confirm that majority active initiatives concentrated northern hemisphere most information gathered from efforts derives relatively small subset species. The also...

Assessing the distribution and intensity of human threats to biodiversity is a prerequisite for effective spatial planning, harmonizing conservation purposes with sustainable development. In Mediterranean Sea, management Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) rarely based on explicit consideration multiple stressors, direct assessment their effects ecosystems. This gap limits effectiveness protection conducive conflicts among stakeholders. Here, fine scale potential different combinations stressors...

The process of site selection and spatial planning has received scarce attention in the scientific literature dealing with marine restoration, suggesting need to better address how tools could guide restoration interventions. In this study, for first time, consequences adopting different targets criteria on prioritization have been assessed at a regional scale, including consideration climate changes. We applied decision-support tool Marxan, widely used systematic conservation Mediterranean...

As β-diversity can be seen as a proxy of ecological connections among species assemblages, modeling the decay similarity in composition at increasing distance may help elucidate spatial patterns connectivity and local- to large-scale processes driving community assembly within marine region. This, turn, provide invaluable information for setting ecologically coherent networks protected areas (MPAs) which communities are potentially interrelated mutually sustain against environmental...

Abstract. The development of offshore wind farms (OWFs) and the establishment marine protected areas (MPAs) comprise two main elements for production clean energy, simultaneous maintenance protection biodiversity in Mediterranean Black seas. Successful, efficient, sustainable coupling these aspects presumes that criteria selecting suitable locations deployment OWFs should not only include technical-engineering terms (e.g. high energy efficiency, bottom suitability, inland infrastructures)...

Over recent decades large amounts of data about our Planet have become available. If this information could be easily discoverable, accessible and properly exploited, preserved shared, it would potentially represent a wealth for whole spectrum stakeholders: from scientists researchers to the highest level decision policy makers.

The continuing degradation of marine ecosystems is widely highlighted as having a significant impact on services they provide for human well-being. To this end, especially during the last decade, numerous national, regional and international aspirations, targets commitments have been made in order to reverse detrimental trend affecting ocean health, which expected accelerate immediate future. Restoration actions are becoming common strategy speed-up recovery pathway degraded ecosystems. This...
