International day for the Mediterranean sea
The International Day of the Mediterranean Sea is celebrated on 8 July, an opportunity to raise awareness of the dangers that threaten the Mediterranean Sea. According to ISPRA, over 240 alien species have been identified in this, 68% of which are now stable along our coasts. More than 70% of marine litter is deposited on the Italian seabed, of which 77% is plastic. On the beaches, with an average of 400 waste every 100 meters, the situation is no better. In the Mediterranean, more than 63% of sea turtles have ingested plastic. But the actions for sustainability are bearing fruit: fish stocks, while remaining overfished, in 6 years go from 85% to 75%.

The connectionss between climate change, loss of biodiversity and migration are among the most dramatic aspects of the planet's climate crisis. The political, economic and social consequences of the effects of global warming are at the center of public debate. An in-depth study on the impacts of the climate, in particular on the African continent, between desertification and the destruction of agricultural and water resources, as an engine for mass migration to Europe, will be the subject of discussion and debate between researchers and the public.

Cities are where business is concentrated and half of the world's population lives with further growth prospects. Urban areas therefore have a high impact on environmental quality. Solutions based on the functioning of ecosystems are a tool for sustainable land management, to address in an integrated way the environmental and social problems caused by global and climatic changes in progress. By assessing the impact of land consumption on ecosystem services provided by vegetation, the problems and solutions that the synergy between research and active citizenship can find to future challenges will be analyzed.

Marine strategy: the pre-survey activity for the development of a "Metabarcoding eDNA" analysis protocol was completed in Trieste
This week, the pre-survey activity for the development of a "Metabarcoding eDNA" analysis protocol was included in the port of Trieste as part of a pilot monitoring activity for the Marine Strategy - Descriptor 2_Non-indigenous species, which sees the collaboration between ISPRA, the Polytechnic University of Marche and the regional agencies. The activity will make it possible to identify the taxonomic composition of animal and plant species in port areas, also identifying the presence of non-indigenous species and may constitute an important investigation tool for the early warning system.
"The sea you don't expect"
What happens over there? Today starts ISPRA's dissemination campaign to tell about the specific activities developed by its researchers, in compliance with the shared programs in Europe, both through observation and monitoring of marine environments, and in the field of laboratory research. The first issue of the campaign is dedicated to wrecks and submerged archaeological sites: multiview photogrammetry. Between seas, lakes and rivers, Italy is rich in archaeological finds even in the water, we find shipwrecks, remains of submerged cities, pile-dwelling villages and prehistoric villages. Recently, the advent of futuristic techniques has facilitated the exploration of the seabed. providing incredible three-dimensional reconstructions.
