  • How Do Seagrasses Face Herbivory? a Case of Study in Cadiz Bay
    How do seagrasses face herbivory? A case of study in Cadiz bay Isabel Casal*1, Fernando G. Brun1 and Eva Zub´ıa2 *Corresponding author: [email protected] 1Department of Biology (Ecology Area), University of C´adiz,Puerto Real (C´adiz)Spain 2Department of Organic Chemistry, University of C´adiz,Puerto Real (C´adiz),Spain Keywords: Herbivory, Marine Angiosperms, Natural Products Introduction The marine angiosperms or seagrasses are vascular plants with leaves, rhizomes, roots, flowers and seeds that inhabit marine environment. Seagrasses are characterized by developing extensive crowded meadows in shallow coastal areas, forming one of the most important coastal habitats of the biosphere, bearing a great ecological value because of the services and functions they provide, both to humans and marine ecosystems. Seagrasses are distributed along all the coasts of the world, except in Antarctica (Robertson and Mann, 1984) while only four species are found in the Mediterranean Sea: Zostera noltei Hornemann (1832), Zostera marina Linnaeus (1753), Cymodocea nodosa Ascherson (1870) and Posidonia oceanica (Linnaeus) Delile (1813). With the exception of the P. oceanica, the other three species coexist in the Bay of Cadiz (Figure1, modified from Brun et al.(2015)). Figure 1: (A) Seagrass habitats in the Bay of Cadiz (B) Zostera noltei (C) Cymodocea nodosa (D) Zostera marina. 1 Marine angiosperms possess a secondary metabolism that synthetizes specific organic compounds known as natural products. These compounds play important roles in the survival of the plants, including their involvement in chemical defence mechanisms. One of the ecological functions played by these natural products could be their deterrent capacity against herbivores.

  • Restoration of Seagrass Meadows in the Mediterranean Sea: a Critical Review of Effectiveness and Ethical Issues
    water Review Restoration of Seagrass Meadows in the Mediterranean Sea: A Critical Review of Effectiveness and Ethical Issues Charles-François Boudouresque 1,*, Aurélie Blanfuné 1,Gérard Pergent 2 and Thierry Thibaut 1 1 Aix-Marseille University and University of Toulon, MIO (Mediterranean Institute of Oceanography), CNRS, IRD, Campus of Luminy, 13009 Marseille, France; [email protected] (A.B.); [email protected] (T.T.) 2 Università di Corsica Pasquale Paoli, Fédération de Recherche Environnement et Societé, FRES 3041, Corti, 20250 Corsica, France; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Some species of seagrasses (e.g., Zostera marina and Posidonia oceanica) have declined in the Mediterranean, at least locally. Others are progressing, helped by sea warming, such as Cymodocea nodosa and the non-native Halophila stipulacea. The decline of one seagrass can favor another seagrass. All in all, the decline of seagrasses could be less extensive and less general than claimed by some authors. Natural recolonization (cuttings and seedlings) has been more rapid and more widespread than was thought in the 20th century; however, it is sometimes insufficient, which justifies transplanting operations. Many techniques have been proposed to restore Mediterranean seagrass meadows. However, setting aside the short-term failure or half-success of experimental operations, long-term monitoring has usually been lacking, suggesting that possible failures were considered not worthy of a scientific paper. Many transplanting operations (e.g., P. oceanica) have been carried out at sites where the species had never previously been present.

For this reason, over time, restoration programs have been put in place through transplantation activities, with different success. These actions have also been conducted with other Mediterranean marine seagrasses. The results of numerous transplanting operations conducted in the Northern Adriatic Sea and lagoons with Cymodocea nodosa, Zostera marina and Z. noltei and in the Central and Southern Adriatic Sea with P. oceanica (only within the project Interreg SASPAS), are herein presented and compared, taking also into account the presence of extensive meadows of C. nodosa, Z. marina and Z. noltei, along the North Adriatic coasts and lagoons.

  • The Bailiwick Eelgrass Exploration Project, 2019 Desk-Based Assessment Report Author: Mel Broadhurst-Allen Affiliated Bodies: A
    The Bailiwick Eelgrass Exploration Project, 2019 Desk-based Assessment Report Author: Mel Broadhurst-Allen Affiliated bodies: Alderney Wildlife Trust, Biodiversity Partnership, ACLMS, La Société Guernesiaise, Guernsey Biological Records Centre, Seasearch. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND Zostera species (common or dwarf eelgrass) is regarded as a priority habitat forming species throughout the EU, UK and Channel Islands. Currently, there is little ecological knowledge of Zostera species in terms of its overall location and ecology within the Bailiwick of Guernsey. This project aims to increase knowledge on the presence, location and ecology of Zostera species across the Bailiwick of Guernsey and, to promote awareness of this habitat to relevant stakeholders, appropriate bodies and the public. The project will comprise of an eelgrass desk-based assessment, training, public/stakeholder engagement activities and field-based surveys across the Bailiwick. This report details the desk-based assessment. The aim of the desk-based assessment is to review past records of Zostera species within the Bailiwick of Guernsey. This is to provide recommendations for developing future field- based surveys (i.e. past records reporting Zostera species presence sites which need verification and/or new sites which need ground-truthing) and potential research, for the long term. This report details the desk-based assessment and includes: - Methodology; - Results; - Recommendations. 2. METHODOLOGY 2.1 DESK-BASED ASSESSMENT The assessment comprised of reviewing past records and (primary and secondary) sources of information relevant to Zostera species. This included reviewing (qualitative and quantitative) surveys conducted by Seasearch, independent academic studies, NGO monitoring projects, general presence/location information and anecdotal records.

Seagrass meadows are Seagrasses among the most rapidly declining coastal habitats on Earth. In particular, high nutrient loadings, enhanced Nutrient sedimentation and competition from blooming seaweeds, like the invasive red alga Gracilaria vermiculophylla, are Sediment claimed to be associated with this decline. Gracilaria vermiculophylla In this study, we tested for individual and potential interactive impacts on the intertidal seagrass Zostera noltei Peringia ulvae fi Ria de Aveiro of these three stressors using a factorial eld experiment. We measured seagrass shoots density and biomass (both above and below ground seagrass biomass) as proxies of seagrass physical condition. We also examined changes in fauna assemblages. The study suggested that sediment loading had the most detrimental impacts on health of the seagrass meadows.

  • Albanian Nature&Activities
    Albanian Nature&Activities yours to discover Albanian Nature Albanian Nature Albanian Seaside Sport and Adventure 1 Relief and Climate Albania covers a total area 28,748 km2 and is distinguished for its spectacular and diverse terrain. One-third of the country consists of lowlands located primarily in the west and extending along the Adriatic and Ionian coasts. The remainder of the country is hilly or mountainous and offers tremendous views and vistas. The highest point in Albania, at 2,751 m, is Mount Korabi in Dibra district. As one might expect, this beautiful and varied terrain offers visitors many opportunities to enjoy Albania’s natural beauty. The beauty and unique climate offered by the highlands is often just a short drive away from all that the coast and its Mediterranean-like climate have to offer. Albania also enjoys long periods of pleasant weather. Summer is the most sunny and beautiful of the seasons, but the remainder of the year is beautiful, as well. 2 Albanian Nature 3 Relief and Climate 4 Albanian Nature The Albanian seashore is an expansive 450 km and includes numerous lagoons. The sea has influenced Albanian history and culture since antiquity through the trade and fishing opportunities it provides. Heading north and/or east from the sea, visitors will gain altitude and truly begin to appreciate the highlands and, eventually, the alpine areas. The mountainous terrain in the northern Alps is breathtaking. Snow cover lasts for nearly half the year and af- fords numerous outdoor recreation possibilities, particularly in the Albanian Alps in the north of country.
