Summary

The project will assess the biological communities that thrive in four marine habitats at the Jubilee Shoals (SBAA Akrotiri) in Cyprus: seagrass beds, rocky reefs, submerged caves, and coralligenous. The assessment will take in account the physical characteristics (depth, geomorphology 3D), environmental parameters (temperature seasonality), and the human footprint (fishing, diving) on these habitats. With the participation of students and scientist, the project aims to produce information that is essential for management and protection actions.
