'Balancing Tourism and Conservation in the Tuscan Archipelago' looks at monitoring, restoring & managing seagrass meadows in this high-tourism region. Tnx to our colleages @unipisa.bsky.social @dipbiounipi.bsky.social! 💙

Just completed a productive annual meeting in Pisa hosted by @dipbiounipi.bsky.social. Main conclusion: harmonize monitoring of reefs across the Mediterranean, otherwise time series collected locally will not be comperable and able to detect basin wide changes across time and space @biodiversa.eu

🌊 Stakeholder engagement in action!🤝 Great synergy at the stakeholder event in Pisa hosted by the @marinesabres.bsky.social project, co-creating knowledge for a healthier ocean 🌍! #OceanScience #MarineBiodiversity #MarineBiodiversity #OceanObservation #StakeholderEngagement 🧵1/4
