Seagrass restoration monitoring and shallow-water benthic habitat mapping through a photogrammetry-based protocol

Daniele Ventura et al.

Summary: Seagrasses are highly productive yet threatened ecosystems on Earth. Researchers have developed an underwater SFM-based protocol for monitoring large seagrass restoration areas, using consumer-grade RGB imagery and OBIA technique for fine seabed characterization and transplant fragment counting.

Posidonia oceanica L. (Delile) meadows regression: Long-term affection may be induced by multiple impacts

Fabio Blanco-Murillo et al.

Summary: Research findings indicate a continuous reduction in the P. oceanica meadows near the city of Alicante, Spain, both in the long term and over the past 20 years, particularly in terms of coverage and density at the upper limit of the meadow. Additionally, there has been a significant increase in dead matte cover in the same period. The co-occurrence of various coastal impacts has contributed to the regression of the meadow.

Transplantation on a Posidonia oceanica meadow to facilitate its recovery after the Concordia shipwrecking

G. Mancini et al.

Summary: The research on the restoration of seagrass ecosystems damaged by the Concordia shipwreck demonstrates that the recovery of P. oceanica can be accelerated through restoration protocols. The study highlights the importance of adopting case-specific restoration strategies during the recovery process.

Major regression of Posidonia oceanica meadows in relation with recreational boat anchoring: A case study from Sant'Amanza bay

Christine Pergent-Martini et al.

Summary: Anchoring of large recreational craft in shallow marine habitats, particularly in the Mediterranean, has caused significant damage to Posidonia oceanica meadows and their associated ecosystem services. This study assessed the impact of anchoring on the surface area and carbon fixation and sequestration capacities of P. oceanica meadows in Sant'Amanza bay, Corsica Island. The results showed a substantial regression of the meadows between 2019 and 2020, leading to a 9% decline in annual carbon fixation and sequestration. The estimated loss of ecosystem services amounted to 4.72 million euros per year.

An experimental investigation aimed at validating a seagrass restoration protocol based on transplantation

G. Mancini et al.

Summary: Protection and restoration are crucial for biodiversity conservation. The study proposed a successful protocol for restoring the Mediterranean seagrass Posidonia oceanica, using cuttings from detached matte clods and transplanting them at similar depths. This method showed high survival rates, increased shoot density, and higher leaf growth than natural plants, with the iron transplant stakes degrading within 20-24 years.

Double Trouble: Synergy between Habitat Loss and the Spread of the Alien Species Caulerpa cylindracea (Sonder) in Three Mediterranean Habitats

Edoardo Casoli et al.

Summary: The study shows that habitat loss increases the spread of C. cylindracea, with varying magnitudes among different habitats. Dead matte areas of P. oceanica are the most vulnerable to the invasion, while coralligenous reefs are less susceptible under both studied conditions.
