Project Summary:
The Italia-Malta Interreg project SEA MARVEL joins forces between organizations that, in Sicily and Malta, work to reduce knowledge gaps and promote timely, concrete, and feasible actions and campaigns to aid nature protection for innovative sustainable development. The geographical position of these islands allows for strategic analyses pertinent to the understanding of Mediterranean pressures and challenges caused by climatic and environmental changes.
SEA MARVEL aims to raise awareness of the risks and mitigate the effects of plastic pollution, declining populations of marine species, alien species invasion and climate change effects to maintain and reactivate the ecosystem and protected Natura 2000 sites. SEA MARVEL’s fieldwork, under the scientific guidance of the University of Malta, shall assess the presence of and promote actions toward the repopulation of vulnerable indicator species such as cetaceans. It will also target timely interventions to identify and reduce alien species and plastics in the selected Natura 2000 sites in line with the Marine Strategy Framework Directive’s Good Environmental Status.
Under the guidance of the University of Catania, challenges that stimulate the participation of the new generation and coastal communities towards the development of sustainable management plans shall be set-up.
