Biodiversa Joint Research Call 2022-2023 on "Improved transnational monitoring of biodiversity and ecosystem change for science and society (BiodivMon)"
I am looking for a project to join for Theme 1. My team and I developed a monitoring method (structures) that can be applied to coastal areas, marinas/harbors and also Marine Protected Areas. It provides data about species arrival (including non-native species), community composition and abundance. The advantage is that it is inexpensive and easy to facilitate, and later the data can be compared to other areas. In the place where I deployed these structures (Madeira Island, PT) we use this method for mainly collecting data about invasive species and their potential spread to other disturbed, or perhaps even protected, areas.
