Monitoring and managing of european seagrass beds (M&MS)

Objetivo

The goal of the M&MS project is to define the habitat requirements of European sea grass ecosystems, the present threats to their sustainability, and their resilience to disturbance in order to strengthen our forecast capacity and formulation cost-effective monitoring plans, and management strategies. The goal will be pursued by compilation and analysis of data from databases, field surveys and experiments. The project will identify early warning indicators related to plant characteristics. The project will address the most critical factors regulating growth and survival of sea grasses by determining the interaction between plant performance and conditions in water column and sediment. The project will determine the capacity for sea grass recovery through vegetative and sexual reproduction to provide operational tools to predict spatial and temporal scales of recovery. The results will be published as a handbook on monitoring and sustainable management of European sea grass communities.
