Taranto, Taranto, Italy; cDipartimento di Biologia Animale ed Ambientale, Università di Bari, Bari, Italy (Received 17 May 2009; final version received 14 December 2009) Thirty-eight nonindigenous marine species (NIS) (macroalgae, sponges, hydrozoans, molluscs, polychaetes, crustaceans, ascidiaceans and fish), are reported from the Apulian coast of Italy. Shipping, aquaculture and migration through the Suez Canal are the main pathways of introduction of the NIS. In Apulian waters, 21% of NIS are occasional, 18% are invasive and 61% are well-established. It is highly probable that more NIS will arrive from warm-water regions, because Mediterranean waters are warming. Furthermore, some of the successful NIS must have the ability to become dormant in order to survive adverse conditions, either seasonal or during long journeys in ballast waters. The identification of NIS depends greatly on the available taxonomic expertise; hence the paucity of taxonomists hinders our knowl- edge of NIS in our seas. We propose the creation and maintenance of a network of observatories across the Mediterranean to monitor the changes that take place along its coasts.

  • Is the Gulf of Taranto an Historic Bay?*
    Ronzitti: Gulf of Taranto IS THE GULF OF TARANTO AN HISTORIC BAY?* Natalino Ronzitti** I. INTRODUCTION Italy's shores bordering the Ionian Sea, particularly the seg­ ment joining Cape Spartivento to Cape Santa Maria di Leuca, form a coastline which is deeply indented and cut into. The Gulf of Taranto is the major indentation along the Ionian coast. The line joining the two points of the entrance of the Gulf (Alice Point­ Cape Santa Maria di Leuca) is approximately sixty nautical miles in length. At its mid-point, the line joining Alice Point to Cape Santa Maria di Leuca is approximately sixty-three nautical miles from the innermost low-water line of the Gulf of Taranto coast. The Gulf of Taranto is a juridical bay because it meets the semi­ circular test set up by Article 7(2) of the 1958 Geneva Convention on the Territorial Sea and the Contiguous Zone. 1 Indeed, the waters embodied by the Gulf cover an area larger than that of the semi­ circle whose diameter is the line Alice Point-Cape Santa Maria di Leuca (the line joining the mouth of the Gulf). On April 26, 1977, Italy enacted a Decree causing straight baselines to be drawn along the coastline of the Italian Peninsula.2 A straight baseline, about sixty nautical miles long, was drawn along the entrance of the Gulf of Taranto between Cape Santa Maria di Leuca and Alice Point. The 1977 Decree justified the drawing of such a line by proclaiming the Gulf of Taranto an historic bay.3 The Decree, however, did not specify the grounds upon which the Gulf of Taranto was declared an historic bay.

  • FASTMIT Project Activities in the Apulia Platform: Evidence of an Active Fault System in the Salento Offshore (Ionian Sea) F.E
    GNGTS 2017 SESSIONE 1.2 FASTMIT PROJECT ACTIVITIES IN THE APULIA PLATFORM: EVIDENCE OF AN ACTIVE FAULT SYSTEM IN THE SALENTO OFFSHORE (IONIAN SEA) F.E. Maesano1, V. Volpi2, R. Basili1, M.M. Tiberti1, M. Zecchin2, S. Ceramicola2, G. Rossi2 1 Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Roma, Italy 2 Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e Geofisica Sperimentale (OGS), Trieste, Italy The FASTMIT Project (FAglie Sismogeniche e Tsunamigeniche nei Mari Italiani) aims to widening and systematizing the knowledge on seismogenic and potentially tsunamigenic faults in the Italian marine areas, thereby taking the pledge to address compelling issues related to geohazards of coastal areas and offshore infrastructures. FASTMIT study areas straddle the Europe-Nubia plate boundary, with focus on the Adriatic Sea, the Gulf of Taranto, the Sicily Channel and the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea. Here we present the preliminary results in the Gulf of Taranto. This area has been recently studied in the framework of various national and international projects (e.g.: EC HERMES, MAGIC, RITMARE, CARG, DPC-INGV-S1), which highlighted its geological complexities. In this area, the Apulia Platform is inflected under the Calabrian Accretionary Wedge as a result of the subduction of the Ionian oceanic crust and the subsequent collision with the Apulia continental margin. The Apulia Platform units have been recognized under the allochthonous units of the accretionary wedge in all the Gulf of Taranto and in the offshore of Crotone where they are affected by transpressional structures (Maesano et al., 2017; Volpi et al., 2017), whereas in the foreland areas (Salento offshore) they are affected by normal faulting.

  • Decapoda Brachyoura) in the Mediterranean Sea M
    THALASSIA JUGOSLAVICA 8 (1) 105—117 (1972) 105 Conference Paper Decapoda Crustacea in the Gulf of Taranto and the Gulf of Catania with a discussion of a new species of Dromidae (Decapoda Brachyoura) in the Mediterranean Sea M. A. Pastore Istituto Sperimentale Talassografico Taranto, via Roma 3, 74100 Taranto, Italy Two sources give information about Jonian Decapoda. One, by Costa1 is a catalogue of 51 Decapoda found in the Taranto area. Also in Costa2, two other species are mentioned which make a total number of 53. The other source, by Forest', is a list of 67 Decapoda found in the Porto Cesareo area. The list of the species is enlarged by a new find in the Gulf of Taranto and the Gulf of Catania. Dromidiopsis spinirostris (Miers, 1881) is also a new Record for the Mediterranean Sea. At the moment, 119 species of Decapoda in the Jonian Sea are re­ corded, 25 of which are not recorded above. In this work we have examined 74 species: 6 Peneidaea, 8 Caridea, 7 Macrura reptantia, 11 Anomura and 42 Brachiura. INTRODUCTION The materials studied in this work were collected under various circum­ stances and at different times and places from 1969 until today. All of them are from the Jonian sea. Most of these species are common or very common in the western Medi­ terranean. But there are some species which are mentioned here for the first time. There is very little literature for the Jonian sea. We have found only five works which deal with the area. From the past century Rizza4 describes material from the Gulf of Catania and Costa1 describes material from the Gulf of Taranto.

  • Marine Stratigraphy of Active Volcanic Areas in the Campania Offshore: Correlation Between the Seismic Units of the Gulf of Pozzuoli and Ischia Island G
    GNGTS 2016 SESSIONE 3.2 MARINE STRATIGRAPHY OF ACTIVE VOLCANIC AREAS IN THE CAMPANIA OFFSHORE: CORRELATION BETWEEN THE SEISMIC UNITS OF THE GULF OF POZZUOLI AND ISCHIA ISLAND G. Aiello CNR-IAMC Sede di Napoli, Naples, Italy Introduction. The marine stratigraphy of active volcanic areas located in the Campania offshore is herein shown and discussed based on high resolution seismic data (Sparker seismic source). Selected examples located in the Gulf of Pozzuoli and in the Ischia offshore will be shown. New and innovative geological and hazard maps of volcanic terrains have been presented, dealing with the definition of mapped units during the field survey, highlighting that a geological map represents a warehouse in which to store the data existing on past eruptions and on inter-eruptive phenomena, having significant implications on the volcanic hazard assessment (Lucchi et al., 2010; Tibaldi, 2010; Bonomo and Ricci, 2010; Palladino et al., 2010; Viereck-Goette et al., 2010; Martì et al., 2010; Gertisser et al., 2010; Milia, 2010; Perrotta et al., 2010; De Vita et al., 2010; De Beni and Groppelli, 2010; Cortes et al., 2010; Vargas-Franco et al., 2010; Sheridan et al., 2010). Marine stratigraphy of active volcanic areas in the Campania offshore has been previously discussed, focusing on examples located in the Gulf of Pozzuoli and Ischia island (Aiello et al., 2012a, 2012b). The techniques of sequence stratigraphy have 534 GNGTS 2016 SESSIONE 3.2 been successfully applied in seismo-stratigraphic interpretation of high resolution seismic data (Fig. 1) to produce reliable geoseismic sections showing the stratigraphic relationships among volcanic bodies and interstratified marine deposits, mostly pertaining to the Late Quaternary depositional sequence (De Lange et al., 1989; Amorosi et al., 2008; Riboulot et al., 2012; Oyedele and Duprè, 2014; Aiello and Marsella, 2015).

  • Map 45 Tarentum Compiled by I.E.M
    Map 45 Tarentum Compiled by I.E.M. Edlund-Berry and A.M. Small, 1997 Introduction The landforms of South Italy have changed in many respects since the classical period. On both the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic coasts the sea level has risen in relation to the landmass, submerging the Oenotrides islands which once provided anchorage off the west coast at Velia, and drowning Roman coastal installations on the Adriatic (Michaelides 1992, 21). As elsewhere in the peninsula, the increase in human population has led to deforestation of the hills, with consequent erosion of the slopes and sedimentation in the valley bottoms (Boenzi 1989; Campbell 1994; Barker 1995, 62-83). Increased silting in the lower courses of the rivers created marshy conditions in the coastal plains, which were only drained and rendered safe from malaria in the mid-twentieth century. The alluvial deposits have pushed out the coastline along the Ionian Gulf and the Gulf of Paestum, so that the remains of the ancient ports there now lie a considerable distance inland. Deforestation has also led to flash flooding, which in turn has caused rivers to change their courses. Such change is vividly illustrated by the Via Traiana, which crossed the Cerbalus and Carapelle (ancient name unknown) rivers by bridges that now straddle dry land. Other changes have been brought about by more deliberate human intervention. Several inland lakes have been drained since Roman times to provide arable land or relieve malaria. We have reconstructed these on the map where the evidence is reasonably clear, as it is at Forum Popili on the R.
