iSea announces the collaboration with the project CIGESMed in the context of the iSea Conservation Diving Project 2016.

CIGESMED’s goal is to understand the links between natural and anthropogenic pressures and ecosystem functioning to define and maintain the Good Environmental Status (GES) of the Mediterranean Sea, by studying the typical, complex and not well known habitats built by calcareous encrusting algae, the “coralligenous”. Project CIGESMED refers to researchers and divers, citizen scientists willing to contribute to the exploration and the conservation of the coralligenous habitats and the marine environment.
