Right now we’re kicking off the project #MARVEL 🌊
Building in integrated regional network of high ecological value marine areas in the Levantine-Balearic demarcation, combining science, data and collaboration to support better conservation.

🌊 #MARVEL project has officially kicked off!
We are working to develop a regional network of marine areas with high ecological value in the Levantine–Balearic marine district, advancing science‑based marine planning and conservation.

Many partners in the GES4SEAS project worked hard on making this possible: A comic book with 10 comics on main marine topics!
It is available in 15 languages and this includes three very interesting European minority languages as well (Basque, Catalan, Low German).
Read, learn, enjoy:

🐦🏙️Urban gulls are a key part of Barcelona’s ecosystem, yet their behaviour and role in the city are often misunderstood 🤔.
This recent interview sheds light on how the species adapts to urban environments and coexists with people👥.

🚨 Paper alert!
New study co‑authored by @valeriosbra.bsky.social
shows why understanding behaviour is crucial to predicting and managing invasive species. 📸Online photos & videos can reveal behaviour patterns that traditional monitoring often misses. Read it: short.do/wirYnS

The W. Mediterranean faces big challenges: climate change, fishing pressure, pollution… But its future is still ours to shape.
Through @marineplanebmsp.bsky.social, we explore how ecosystems could change depending on the decisions we make today.
