On the island of Pantelleria, Agnese Riccardi, PhD in marine ecology at the Polytechnic University of Marche, is investigating the disappearance of seagrasses, sponges, and gorgonians that structure Mediterranean seabeds.

🌿 With the PANTHER project, her team restores these key species to bring coastal habitats back to life and offer a future to local fishers. 3D photogrammetry, scientific monitoring, and community involvement make science a tangible lever for resilience.
