https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4ZK3KnZZYYThe aim of the webinars is to provide to participants understanding and familiarity with nine monitoring protocols related to different climate change indicators such as: sea water temperature, mass-mortalities, changes in fish abundance, monitoring the health of Posidonia oceanica, Pinna nobilis and sea urchin population and using Local Ecological Knowledge to reconstruct time series of historical changes.
The webinars will illustrate the rationale, field operations, data treatment and information sharing approaches of these monitoring protocols. A ready-to-use monitoring toolkit will be shared, including video tutorials, PowerPoint presentations and files for data inputs.
During the webinar will develop your skills on how to:
▷Monitor in a harmonized way the climate change impacts in MPAs
▷Access the knowledge of local experts, such as fishers and divers, to gather key information regarding climate related changes in the marine biota
▷Upload data and share information
