Cystoseira senu lato forests play a central role in marine Mediterranean ecosystems. Over the last decades, Cystoseira s. l. suffered from a severe loss as a result of multiple anthropogenic stressors. In particular, Gongolaria barbata has faced multiple human-induced threats,

Accurate, rapid, and cost-effective fish assemblage monitoring is fundamental to marine protected areas (MPA) management as a pivotal tool to verify whether and t what extent MPA conservation objectives have been achieved and to redefine these objectives in the framework

Populations of Pinna nobilis have been declining in French coasts for many years, mainly due to anthropogenic impacts such as pollution, boat mooring, trawling and the artificialization of the coastline. Already considered as vulnerable species, a mass mortality event has

Protected area (PA) managers and policy makers need to determine and demonstrate the effectiveness of PA management and keep track of the conservation status in ways that are practical, scientifically sound and comparable among PAs in various terrestrial and aquatic

Scleractinian cold-water corals (CWCs) are among the main habitat engineers of the deep Mediterranean Sea, hosting a high diversity and playing a significant ecological role. In the last two decades, many new living scleractinian CWC sites throughout the Mediterranean Basin

Lyme Bay marine protected area (MPA) is the UK’s first and largest example of an ambitious, whole-site approach to management, to recover and protect reef biodiversity. The whole-site approach applies consistent management, in this case excluding bottom towed fishing, across

Cold-water corals (CWC) habitats dwell on continental shelves, slopes, seamounts, and ridge systems around the world’s oceans from 50 to 4000 m depth, providing heterogeneous habitats which support a myriad of associated fauna. These highly diverse ecosystems are threatened by
