Pinna nobilis, endemic to the Mediterranean Sea, has been experiencing a gradual population decline over recent decades due to anthropogenic pressures on its ecosystems. However, since 2016, its populations have suffered significant reductions because of pathological issues affecting the species across all its habitats. Aquaculture techniques to support the limited natural recruitment P. nobilis efforts is examined. Artificial...

In the present paper, sedimentological, water physicochemical data and biological benthic assemblages are compiled to provide an integrated environmental assessment of a protected shallow Mediterranean lagoon with a long history of management interventions (Klisova Lagoon, Western Greece). Satellite remote sensing techniques were used for mapping the seagrass Cymodocea nodosa (Ucria) Asch, which presents an extensive expansion...
