The goal of ecosystem-based marine spatial management is to maintain ecosystems in a healthy, productive and resilient condition; hence, they can sustainably provide the needed goods services for human welfare. However, increasing pressures upon realm threaten ecosystems, especially seabed biotopes, thus well-planned approach managing use space essential achieve sustainability. relative value evaluated on basis services, an important starting point areas. Herein, 56 types European biotopes...
Biological invasions threaten biodiversity in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems, requiring substantial conservation management efforts. To examine how the planning literature addresses biological if environment could benefit from experiences terrestrial systems, we conducted a global systematic review. Out of 1149 scientific articles mentioning both 'conservation planning' 'alien' or any its alternative terms, 70 met our selection criteria. Most studies were related to...
Abstract Shallow-water marine organisms are among the first to suffer from combined effects of natural and anthropogenic drivers. The orange coral Astroides calycularis is a shallow-water bioconstructor species endemic Mediterranean Sea. Although raising conservation interest, also given its special position within Dendrophylliidae, information about threats health scant. We investigated status A. at five locations in northwestern Sicily along gradient cumulative human impact most probable...
The Aarhus Convention is a globally recognised benchmark for democratic environmental governance. However, no assessment exists on whether European MPAs comply with the legal standards set out by Convention. Here, we focus public authorities' websites as tools promoting transparency, involvement, and processes. We assessed of 61 in thirteen countries using survey structured three pillars Convention: access to information, participation decision-making, justice. show that while most are used...

Several echinoderms, including sea urchins, are valuable sources of bioactive compounds but their nutraceutical potential is largely unexplored. In fact, the gonads some urchin species contain antioxidants carotenoids and polyhydroxylated naphthoquinones (PHNQ’s), such as echinochrome A. Astaxanthin known to have particular bioactivity for prevention neurodegenerative diseases. This carotenoid produced by microalgae, while several marine invertebrates can bioaccumulate or synthetize it from...
Transboundary conservation has an important, yet often undervalued, role in the international regime. When applied to legally ambiguous and interconnected marine environment this is magnified. The lack of clear guidance for transboundary from community exacerbates problem, leaving individual initiatives develop their own governance arrangements. Yet, well-managed protected areas (MPAs) have potential contribute significantly global aims. Conversely, a period where there increasing interest...
The difficulty in teasing apart the effects of biological invasions from those other anthropogenic perturbations has hampered our understanding mechanisms underpinning global biodiversity crisis. recent elaboration global-scale maps cumulative human impacts provides a unique opportunity to assess how impact invaders varies among areas exposed different activities. A meta-analysis shown that invasive seaweeds on native biota tend be more negative relatively pristine than human-impacted...
