Last week, we shared excellent news from the PANTHER project: on the island of Pantelleria, the Secca di Campobello has been granted protected status dedicated to scientific research and ecological restoration!
In Pantelleria, a marine site has just received official recognition, providing scientists with a secure field in which to validate the effectiveness of restorations!
On the island of Pantelleria, Agnese Riccardi, a doctor in marine ecology at the Polytechnic University of Marche, investigates the disappearance of the seagrass beds, sponges and gorgonians that structure the Mediterranean seabed.
A doctoral student at the Polytechnic University of Marche, Agnese successfully defended her thesis entitled: "Valuing marine biodiversity to involve local communities in the design of appropriate conservation measures", with an excellent evaluation!
Thanks to your donations, the PANTHER (Pantelleria Benthic Habitat Recovery) project is making great strides!
