On Biodiversity Day, we are reminded that protecting the Mediterranean means acting where pressures are felt most: in its seagrass meadows, coastal wetlands, lagoons, island habitats and biodiversity hotspots.
📺 Project MIRAMAR, stemming from the UfM-labelled Plastic Busters Initiative, is dedicated to tackling marine litter across our sea through monitoring, prevention and mitigation, while supporting healthier and more resilient ecosystems.
Over 33 months, the project brings together efforts from across the Mediterranean basin to address long-term environmental challenges through coordinated and transnational action. With 8 partners and 14 associated partners operating across nine pilot areas, MIRAMAR will develop and test innovative, science-based solutions to mitigate and restore ecosystems impacted by cumulative environmental stressors.
From the seagrass meadows of Secche della Meloria and the Bay of Pollença, to the wetlands of Amvrakikos, the Vjosa River Delta, the Western Istria Coast, Lavezzi Island, the Aeolian Islands, Capo Peloro Lagoon, and coastal habitats across Tuscany, these pilot areas reflect both the richness and vulnerability of Mediterranean biodiversity.
