Monitoraggio SIC in Calabria”, PO FEAMP Calabria 2014-2020 Misura 1.40, (Protezione e ripristino della biodiversità e degli ecosistemi marini di compensazione nell’ ambito di attività di pesca sostenibili)

OBIETTIVO DEL PROGETTO

L'obiettivo generale del presente progetto è quello di proteggere e ripristinare la biodiversità e gli ecosistemi marini nell’ambito di attività di pesca sostenibili all’interno delle aree Natura 2000 della Regione Calabria.
Nello specifico verrà effettuata la ricognizione, aggiornamento e mappatura della pesca artigianale (aggiornamento flotta, caratteristiche attrezzi, specie target e by catch, dati di catture e sforzo) che opera nei SIC: IT9310053 Secca di Amendolara, IT9320097, IT9350172 Fondali da Punta Pezzo a Capo dell'Armi, IT9350173 Fondali di Scilla, IT9340093 Fondali di Capo Vaticano, IT9340092 Fondali di Pizzo Calabro, IT9340094 Fondali Capo Cozzo - S. Irene, Fondali da Crotone a Le Castella e nell’omonima Area Marina Protetta.
Tale attività sarà utile per l’aggiornamento dei piani di protezione e di gestione dei siti NATURA 2000. Nelle stesse aree sarà valutato lo stato di salute dell’habitat di interesse comunitario Praterie di Posidonie (Posidonion oceanicae) (habitat prioritario, cod. 1120*- Direttiva Habitat).
Un’importante attività di progetto prevede anche la sensibilizzazione degli operatori della pesca su tematiche legate alla tutela e alla conservazione della biodiversità marina (marine litter, best practices), per tale attività verranno coinvolte le principali marinerie della Regione Calabria sia del versante ionico che tirrenico, incluso lo Stretto di Messina.

PIR01_00018 - IPANEMA Implementazione del laboratorio naturale ECCSEL di Panarea e dell’osservatorio marino

Il progetto IPANEMA, finanziato dal PON – Programma Operativo Nazionale Ricerca e Innovazione 2014-2020 con la concessione di un finanziamento per un importo complessivo di € 8.786.920,18, prevede l’implementazione del laboratorio ECCSEL NatLab-Italy di Panarea con l’acquisto di strumentazioni all’avanguardia, utili alla determinazione e all’analisi dei principali parametri fisici, chimici, geologici e geofisici, nonché per l'acquisizione di sistemi di campionamento e di analisi in situ, sia tradizionali che innovativi, in modalità continua e sincronizzata. Tali strumentazioni consentiranno ricerche multidisciplinari di eccellenza a Panarea, località parte di un grande strato-vulcano sottomarino quiescente, caratterizzato da faglie tettoniche attive che formano un esteso campo fumarolico emittente CO2, e che è pertanto già stata scelta da OGS per indagare gli effetti dell'incremento dell'anidride carbonica sulle funzioni biogeochimiche ed ecologiche dell'ecosistema marino.

OBIETTIVO DEL PROGETTO

IPANEMA punta al potenziamento di una parte circoscritta dell'infrastruttura pan-europea ERIC – ECCSEL (European Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage Laboratory Infrastructure) dedicata all'avanzamento delle competenze e delle conoscenze nel campo delle geo-scienze applicate e, in particolare, del laboratorio naturale ECCSEL NatLab-Italy di Panarea, parte integrante del nodo italiano di cui il soggetto beneficiario OGS costituisce il capofila a partire dall'anno 2018. Attraverso questo progetto, la sede a terra verrà fornita di nuova strumentazione scientifica da laboratorio e da campo altamente innovativa ai fini del campionamento, l'osservazione in situ e l'acquisizione di dati, così da sviluppare studi multidisciplinari nel campo delle scienze fisiche, chimiche, biologiche e geologiche. Mentre la sensoristica a mare verrà implementata mediante la messa in opera di un nuovo osservatorio sottomarino accogliente sensori, come lo AUV cioè un veicolo autonomo subacqueo ed il ROV guidato invece da remoto, capaci di raggiungere luoghi difficilmente accessibili alle comuni navi da ricerca e porre a disposizione nuove misure da applicare in ricerche inerenti i cambiamenti climatici, l'osservazione oceanica, la pesca e la mappatura degli habitat, l'acquacoltura offshore, l'archeologia marina, l'ecologia degli ambienti profondi, nonché per il monitoraggio ambientale e l’ecosistema.

Il progetto IPANEMA vede la partecipazione di OGS quale soggetto proponente (attraverso il laboratorio ECCSEL NatLab Italy di Panarea e il CTMO - Centro di Taratura e Metrologia Oceanografica quali proprie Unità Operative) e di INGV - Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, INFN - Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare e SZN - Stazione Zoologica "Anton Dohrn" quali co-proponenti.

Programme: Programme for Environment and Climate Action (LIFE)

Title of the Project: Deep REef restoration And litter removal in the Mediterranean sea

Acronym: LIFE21-NAT-IT-LIFE DREAM

Duration: 01/09/2022 – 31/08/2027

Budget totalwe: € 5.308.472,89€

Web site

The Marine Deep Reefs are fundamental benthic habitats recognized for acting as CO2 sinks and attracting highly diverse fauna. Multiple pressures are threatening the health of these habitats and resulting in the loss of their associated ecological functions, including climate change, fishing increments, and litter. The objective of LIFE21-NAT-IT-LIFE DREAM is to implement an innovative and sustainable approach to mitigate the effects of anthropogenic impacts on these habitats. LIFE21-NAT-IT-LIFE DREAM will provide supporting information for extending Natura 2000 to deep-sea habitats so as to promote actions of protection, recovery, and preservation. Additionally, the project will operate in pilot sites by deploying artificial structures aimed at facilitating the growth of deep reef-forming species and removing marine litter.

The CNR-ISMAR is the Coordinator of the Project and, in addition to managing the project, will collect and manage the data of LIFE21-NAT-IT-LIFE DREAM in Spatial Data Infrastructure consisting in software, hardware, spatial data, metadata, web services, data storage and standards. The created Geoportal will allow to share data, results, and improve the knowledge base, permitting further exploitation outside the project.

The main objectives of the Project are:

- Improving the knowledge base on Deep Reefs and the stressors threatening this habitat
- Extending the N2000 network by integrating the previous knowledge and acquiring new data
- Facilitate and promote the passive and active restoration of the Deep Reefs
- Prevent further litter accumulation
- Foster the circular economy concepts by recycling and reuse the removed marine litter
- Increase the public awareness about ocean health and human wellbeing

The expected results are:

- The development of an innovative and sustainable approach to mitigate anthropic pressure on Deep Reefs and promote their recovery
- The production of scientific data and knowledge on Deep Reefs to sustain the flow from scientists to decision-makers and enhance the natural resources management and governance
- The extension of the Natura 2000 network to deep benthic habitats by collecting and providing information to support the designation of 2 new deep-sea sites
- Apply restoration actions (either active or passive) that will extend the surface of the target habitats and provide new substrate for reefs forming species
- Develop a prototype for the removal of marine litter and enhance the cooperation with fisheries to follow a circular economy perspective and further recycle and reuse the litter removed
