A forest of the black coral Antipathella subpinnata was found from 52 to 80 m depth in three
different sites at Tremiti Islands Marine Protected Area (MPA; Mediterranean Sea), with two …

Wind, waves, tides, sediment supply, changes in relative sea level and human activities
strongly affect shorelines, which constantly move in response to these processes, over a …

The traditional approach for coastal monitoring consists in ground investigations that are
burdensome both in terms of logistics and costs, on a national or even regional scale. Earth …

The present work aims at illustrating how the joint use of monitoring data and numerical
models can be beneficial in understanding coastal processes. In the first part, we show and …

Many coastal monitoring programmes have been carried out to investigate in situ
hydrodynamic patterns and correlated physical processes, such as sediment transport or …

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a dramatic socio-economic impact on mankind; however,
the COVID-19 lockdown brought a drastic reduction of anthropic impacts on the environment …

Unfortunately, more and more contaminants, such as heavy metals and other organic micro-
pollutants, degrade the good ecological status of marine systems. The removal of …

The goal of the present work is to show how measured current data could be used to
improve mathematical hydrodynamic modelling. Some current field measurements …

Coastal shallow basins are often heavily anthropized and greatly exposed to environmental
risk areas, thus requiring strict monitoring action by local authorities and stakeholders …

Sustainable management of coastal areas involves dealing with problems such as coastal
erosion, rapid growth in the rate of urbanization, tourism, environmental degradation …
