La corretta diffusione delle raccomandazioni pratiche capitalizzate del progetto PHAROS4MPAs mira a migliorare l'efficacia della gestione delle AMP ed a rendere più efficace la conservazione degli ecosistemi marini in tutto il Mediterraneo. Questo rapporto nasce con l'obiettivo di permettere una capillare diffusione dei risultati principali del progetto PHAROS4MPAS tra gli amministratori, i gestori di Aree Protette ed i portatori di interesse italiani e di promuovere perciò il recepimento e l'implementazione sul territorio nazionale delle raccomandazioni prodotte. Il Rapporto integra al suo interno i Rapporti di sintesi (<em>Policy Briefs</em>) prodotti dal Progetto, i cui rispetti...

Among the intense anthropic activities, industrial fisheries have caused the alteration of habitats, the reduction of biodiversity and the main fish stocks. The aim of this research, carried out in the Adriatic Sea, was to test a repeatable Marine Spatial Planning framework aimed at enhancing fisheries sustainability through the application of Decision Support Tools and the composition of a catalog of possible measures. The use of these tools proved very useful to identify possible criticalities and facilitate an effective exchange with fisheries stakeholders, local authorities, and fishermen, whose involvement was an indispensable step in the process. Tool-based analyses allowed to assess the spatial footprint of a range of anthropogenic pressures from human activities (e.g., fisheries, maritime traffic, and aquaculture). Within this multi-pressure scenario, special attention was paid to fishing-relat...

The suite was initially developed within the ADRIPLAN data portal, that has been recently upgraded into the Tools4MSP Geoplatform (data.tools4msp.eu), an integrated web platform that supports MSP through the application of different tools, e.g., collaborative geospatial modelling of cumulative effects assessment (CEA) and marine use conflict (MUC) analysis. The package can be used as stand-alone library or as collaborative webtool, providing user-friendly interfaces appropriate to decision-makers, regional authorities, academics and MSP stakeholders. An effective MSP-oriented integrated system of web-based software, users and services is proposed. It includes four components: the Tools4MSP Geoplatform for interoperable and collaborative sharing of geospatial datasets and for ...

The tools address four objectives: 1) assessment of cumulative impacts from anthropogenic sea uses on environmental components of marine areas; 2) analysis of sea use conflicts; 3) 3-D hydrodynamic modelling of nutrient dispersion (nitrogen and phosphorus) from riverine sources in the Adriatic Sea Basin and 4) marine ecosystem services capacity assessment from seabed habitats based on an ES matrix approach. Geospatial modelling results were illustrated, analysed and compared on country level and for three biogeographic subdivisions, Northern-Central-Southern Adriatic Sea. The paper discusses model results for their spatial implications, relevance for sea planning, limitations and concludes with an outlook towards the need for more integrated, multi-functional tools development for sea planning.

Human interventions have profoundly altered its balance. This article explores the evolution of the Venetian port system with particular attention to the issue of anthropogenic impact. The first traces of this debate can be found at the beginning of the nineteenth century: for this reason, the work presents a bipartite structure and an interdisciplinary methodology that combines historical analysis with the most recent ecological investigations and planning policies.
