Weld Praderas of Marine Fanerogams in Spain are formed by a set of different species with a wide distribution (As is the case of Smaller) And that in turn covers variable depths, depending on their ecological requirements, from the coast to levels of almost 40 meters. They are regularly on different sand, grinding streets or even rock. These species are Oceanica Posidonia, Cymodocea Nodosa, Zostera Noltii (= Noltii Noltii), Marina Zostera, Halophila Decipiens and Ruppia SPP. (Mainly two types: R. Cirrhosa and R. Maritima).
Oceanica Posidonia has an exclusive Mediterranean distributionSuch as Cymodocea Nodosa (although the latter is also present in the waters of the Canary Islands of the Supatlántico coast), while the genus of Zostera is found in all our waters, although limited to protected enclaves such as coastal tugs or river monkeys.
Marine Fanerogams for Mar Menor
The Ministry of Environment, Universities, Research and Mar Menor, in collaboration with the Energy and Environment Technology Center (CETMA), strengthens its dedication to the preservation of marine biodiversity by the Life Transfer Project (Marine prairie Transplantation for the Transitional Recovery of the Ecosystem ) An initiative that is funded by the LIFE program of the European Union. This project is targeted Recovery and protection of seagrass countries, especially in the Laguna del Mar Menor, a vulnerable ecosystem those urgent efforts for recovery requires.
To ensure that the progress in this project is sustainable and replicable, Cetensma has organized a formative day, aimed at Technicians from the Murcia region who are part of the Natura 2000 networkWith the aim of training professionals to guarantee the continuity of recovery actions, even once the project is completed.
The event, held, included theoretical and practical training on transplantation of marine meadows, an innovative technique that will be Replicable in other protected ecosystems, both in the Mar Menor and in other marine spaces in Europe.
Three biologists from the University of Murcia have given the training that combine theoretical explanations with on -site practices, so that technicians from the general directorate of the general directorate can Smaller and the general directorate of natural heritage and climate action acquire the Necessary knowledge to apply these techniques in different natural environments.
The main objective of the Life Transfer Project is to improve the state of CHead of the Coste Lagunes, threatened by the loss and regression of Marine Meadows. With the participation of 10 partners, this project takes place in eight areas of the Natura 2000 network, from three European countries: Italy, Greece and Spain.
Coordinated by the University of Ferrara and financed by the Life Program in its environmental sub -program, the project Life Transfer tries to create a restoration model that can be replicated in other marine areas. This project, which lasts four years and a total budget of 4,214,120 euros, is part of the Call of the Life Program, Nature and Biodiversity Section, on the subject of nature.
