SUMMARY:Eco-morphodynamics of coastal systems
DESCRIPTION: ATTEND VIA STREAMING  \n(link available on the day) \nThe “Encontros Espresso” (Espresso Get-Togethers) are a format of talks held at IIM with the aim of getting to know each other better\, getting to know better the activity that takes place in our center and exploring the world of marine science\, encouraging scientific-technical discussion and strengthening links between groups where both research and technical staff can participate to share their work\, experiences and results. \nThese are events designed specifically for our staff\, but everyone is welcome to join in via streaming. \nThis new format will begin at 10:00 a.m. in the IIM-CSIC Meeting Hall and will include complimentary coffee (“Espresso”) to encourage a smooth flow of communication. \nOn this occasion\, the seminar will be given by Ana Vila Concejo\, a Full Professor in Coastal Geomorphology at the University of Sydney\, with a distinguished career in research on coastal systems and eco-morphodynamics. \nEco-morphodynamics of coastal systems\n‘Eco-morphodynamics’ arises when studying coastal systems where certain species may dominate some of the feedbacks between hydrodynamics and morphological responses. Most eco-morphodynamic studies focus on coral reefs\, but they also include oyster reefs\, saltmarshes and mangroves\, and even seagrasses. \nCoral reefs provide significant ecosystem services including food security and coastal protection to people and property\, aside from representing a major tourist attraction. Corals around the world are irreversibly transforming due to unprecedented rapid environmental change. \nThis multi-disciplinary presentation focuses on recent advances in understanding how coral reefs interact with waves and sediments under climate change. The last part of the presentation includes some recent research on how we apply eco-morphodynamics to ecosystem restoration using examples of oyster reefs and Posidonia in Australia. \nAna Vila Concejo\nGraduated in Marine Geoscience from the University of Vigo (Spain)\, where she completed an MSc on urban estuarine beaches. In 2004\, she completed her PhD at the University of Algarve (Portugal). She moved to Australia in 2005 and has been working at the University of Sydney since 2007\, where she has consolidated a successful career in Coastal Geomorphology\, becoming a Full Professor in 2023. Her research has mostly focused on tidal inlets\, beaches in estuaries and bays (BEBs)\, and coral reefs. Her research on eco-morphodynamics includes coral reefs\, oyster reefs\, and other ecosystems contributing to Nature-Based Solutions. She has published over 100 contributions to the literature and has an extensive international network of collaborators. \nAt the University of Sydney\, she co-leads the Geocoastal Research Group\, and she is also Deputy Head of the School of Geosciences\, Co-Director of the Marine Studies Institute\, and Deputy Director of One Tree Island Research Station on the Great Barrier Reef. She is part of the Science Advisory Committee of the Sydney Institute of Marine Science\, and between 2020 and 2024\, she was a member of the Australian Research Council (ARC) College of Experts. \nIn 2016\, she co-founded the international network for Women in Coastal Geoscience and Engineering (WICGE)\, which she co-chaired until 2023. WICGE now has over 600 members globally\, and she is part of the Advisory Committee. She is also the co-host of the successful podcast Coast2Cast\, where she interviews coastal scientists and engineers from all over the world.

Francisco Saborido Rey\, scientific coordinator of the Programme and IIM-CSIC researcher. Conceived as a space for dialogue and collaboration around the needs and challenges of Galicia’s marine sector to which research can respond\, this Assembly highlighted progress in marine observation and monitoring\, sustainable aquaculture and social and economic transformation. Throughout the day\, experts offered lectures\, round tables and thematic panels in which the challenges and achievements reached so far by the participating entities were discussed. \nThe presentations highlighted advances in research on new observation platforms and technologies to obtain more and better data on the state of the marine environment\, the changes occurring in it and their impact. Advances in knowledge of the state of resources and technologies for improving aquaculture\, shellfishing and fisheries production were also addressed. The final session focused on the importance of connecting this research with socio-economic studies\, as well as its relevance for the development of the main public policies for the marine sectors.  \nSeveral innovative initiatives were presented\, including new integrated observation platforms\, progress in strategies and planning for the use of these tools\, a marine virtual laboratory and extreme-event simulators\, digitalisation in fisheries value chains\, the application of genomic tools to improve aquaculture and shellfishing production\, and progress in the sustainable management and supply of mollusc seed. In addition to technological innovations\, the Programme also presented advances in knowledge and socio-economic analysis techniques that will help to better understand the extent to which human activities are affected by environmental change. It also addressed how new regulatory instruments and public strategies — Blue Economy\, Climate Change and the Galician Coastal Planning and Integrated Management Act — can improve their effectiveness by making use of the full range of technologies and knowledge emerging from this Marine Sciences Programme. \nA commitment to innovation and sustainability\nThe meeting focused on three thematic blocks that reflected the importance of innovation in key areas such as marine observation and monitoring\, sustainable use of resources and the resilience of coastal ecosystems. \nThe first session addressed technological challenges towards integrated and sustainable marine observation. Progress on observation networks was presented\, highlighting developments such as new biogeochemical platforms\, the automation of ecotoxicological bioassays and the use of drones with artificial intelligence to monitor intertidal macroalgae. Innovative tools and services were also presented\, including a marine virtual laboratory and the development of digital twins. The needs of sectors related to fisheries\, renewable energies and sustainability were also analysed\, concluding with a debate on shared challenges and priorities. \nThe second part of the meeting addressed sustainable fisheries\, shellfishing and aquaculture\, with innovation as one of the fundamental pillars for ensuring the viability of the sector in the coming years. \nDifferent approaches and technologies for ensuring sustainability in fisheries were discussed\, including the use of genomics in resource management\, end-to-end models for key species\, digitalisation in the value chain and sustainability analysis from a socio-economic perspective. Innovative solutions were also presented\, such as the application of artificial intelligence to improve industrial processes. The session closed with a debate on these challenges and opportunities for fisheries sustainability. \nThe second round table presented advances in innovation to improve sustainability and efficiency in aquaculture. Topics included improving the health conditions of production\, new methodologies for assessing animal welfare\, innovation in sustainable feed\, genomic tools and systems for diversifying aquaculture production systems. Sector representatives also shared practical experiences on the transformation currently taking place in these areas. \nThe third round table focused on how to strengthen resilience in shellfishing and mussel farming. Tools were presented such as prediction systems for environmental alerts affecting culture conditions\, the production of disease-resistant seed\, cryopreservation of mollusc larvae and seed to reduce seasonality in production\, and models for assessing population parameters. The importance of sustainability in Galician mussel farming and shellfishing was also highlighted\, closing with a debate with the affected sectors on the solutions presented. \nKnowledge of coastal ecosystems and the future of the marine economy\nThe final session was dedicated to sustainable and resilient management of the marine environment and highlighted the role of the Marine Sciences Programme of Galicia in providing knowledge and information for informed decision-making\, the development of an effective regulatory framework and public strategies related to the marine environment. Essential issues were discussed\, such as integrated management of the Galician coast and the opportunities arising from new legislation\, as well as Galicia’s blue economy and climate change strategies. The session also addressed systems for quantifying and analysing the interrelationship of activities within the sea-industry complex in coastal areas\, integrated environmental indicators such as the Ocean Health Index\, the importance and mechanisms for estimating the value and balance of blue carbon and recreational services\, and the effects of climate change on the vulnerability of the fisheries and shellfishing sector. The session concluded by discussing the extent to which a truly comprehensive and integrated marine observation strategy is a key tool for understanding coastal and marine ecosystems and improving the management of human activities in relation to them. \nAcross the whole day\, the people responsible for moderating and guiding the presentations placed special emphasis on developing\, in parallel and as a complement to the research\, new strategies to achieve transformative knowledge transfer\, aimed primarily at improving the capacity of the system and of citizens to make greater and better use of scientific advances for the benefit of society as a whole. \nThe meeting served as a space for the research community of Galician public institutions\, the private sector and administration representatives to share their points of view and express their intention to maintain dialogue and expand opportunities for collaboration. All this was based on the shared understanding that such collaboration is essential to address common challenges related to the sustainability and management of marine resources. \nCollaboration between research entities and the business sector \nThe meeting\, organised by the Institute of Marine Research\, Spanish National Research Council (IIM-CSIC)\, the Marine Technology Centre\, CETMAR Foundation and the University of Vigo (UVigo)\, also included the participation of all institutions and research centres that form part of the Programme: the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC)\, the University of A Coruña (UdC)\, the Galician Supercomputing Centre (CESGA)\, the Technological Institute for the Control of the Marine Environment of Galicia (INTECMAR)\, Meteogalicia\, the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO-CSIC) and the centres belonging to the Regional Ministry of the Sea\, the Marine Research Centre (CIMA) and the Galician Institute for Aquaculture Training (IGAFA)\, together with companies and organisations promoting innovation in the marine sectors. \nThe Marine Sciences Programme of Galicia has a budget of 10 million euros and is funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation through the Recovery\, Transformation and Resilience Plan with Next Generation EU funds\, and by the European Maritime\, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund through the Regional Ministry of the Sea of the Xunta de Galicia.

SUMMARY:Workshop | Now you see me: the magic of the microscopic world #MCG24
DESCRIPTION:Bookings and more information here \nOur colleagues Lucía and Lara\, from the Institute of Marine Research (IIM-CSIC)\, in collaboration with the Library of Galicia (Xunta de Galicia) and the CSIC Delegation in Galicia UCC\, are organising the workshop  “Now you see me: the magic of the microscopic world”. This activity is part of the Month of Science in Galician in Libraries and will take place next Saturday\, 9 November\, in Room I of the Library of Galicia at the Cidade da Cultura. \n\nParticipation in this activity is free\, but prior booking is required. Places are limited! \n\n Now you see me: the magic of the microscopic world \n?? Children aged 6 to 12. \nHow do we know the age of fish? How big is a squid when it is born? What is the most abundant animal in the ocean? How do bacteria grow? \nThrough this activity we will answer these questions in an enjoyable and fun way. We will use binocular magnifiers like those found in a laboratory and observe a wide variety of objects and organisms that are part of the research carried out at the CSIC Institute of Marine Research. \nThe workshop will begin with a short demonstration of how a binocular magnifier works. We will then move on to action\, directly observing the wonderful microscopic world through the magnifiers. We will have 10 scientific objects\, and the participating children\, through a small game and with the help of worksheets\, will try to guess what — or who — they have before their eyes. \nThe activity will end with a shared discussion of all the material observed and with alternative ideas for building your own magnifier at home!

SUMMARY:Sex\, epigenetics and videotapes
DESCRIPTION:FOLLOW IT VIA STREAMING  \n(link available on the day of the broadcast) \nThe “Encontros Espresso” are a series of talks held at IIM-CSIC with the aim of helping us get to know each other better\, learn more about the activity carried out at our centre and explore the world of marine science\, encouraging scientific and technical discussion and strengthening links between groups. \nThese events are designed especially for our staff\, but everyone is invited to join through our streaming broadcast. \nThis new format will begin at 10:00 in the IIM-CSIC Assembly Hall\, and will include complimentary coffee (“Espresso”) to help communication flow smoothly. \nOn this occasion\, the seminar will be delivered by Sofía Consuegra\, ATRAE Distinguished Researcher in the Aquatic Biotechnology Group (ACUABIOTEC). \nSex\, epigenetics and videotapes: analysis of the adaptive role of epigenetic variability using inbred fish as a model\nEpigenetic variation represents a potential mechanism for generating adaptive responses in the presence of low genetic diversity\, and may be an alternative source of adaptive plastic phenotypes that can explain the persistence of highly inbred populations in variable environments. \nThe extent to which epigenetic modifications act independently of genomic variation is key to understanding their potential role in evolution\, and inbred organisms provide a unique opportunity to separate genetic and epigenetic variation. Fish of the genus Kryptolebias are ideal for these studies. Kryptolebias marmoratus and K. hermaphroditus are the only two known self-fertilising vertebrates and are naturally inbred. By analysing their genetic and epigenetic variation\, behaviour\, microbiome composition and response to parasite loads in the laboratory and in their natural environment\, evidence was found that DNA methylation patterns depend on the dynamic interaction between genotype and environment. \nHowever\, epigenetic parental effects related to environmental conditions were also identified. If maintained across generations\, they may represent an evolutionary strategy for species with low genetic diversity facing rapid environmental change.   \nSofía Consuegra\n Her work focuses mainly on conservation genetics\, molecular ecology and resource management (fisheries and aquaculture)\, primarily but not exclusively in aquatic organisms. \nShe graduated in Biology from the University of Oviedo and worked for six years as Scientific Adviser to the Government of Cantabria before completing a PhD in Conservation Genetics at the University of Cantabria. \nShe carried out postdoctoral work at the Institute of Zoology in London and at the University of St Andrews before becoming a lecturer at Aberystwyth University until 2013 and then Professor of Evolutionary Ecology at Swansea University. She is currently an ATRAE distinguished researcher at IIM.

SUMMARY:The role of statistics in marine research
DESCRIPTION:FOLLOW IT VIA STREAMING  \n(link available on the day of the broadcast) \nThe “Encontros Espresso” are a series of talks held at IIM-CSIC with the aim of helping us get to know each other better\, learn more about the activity carried out at our centre and explore the world of marine science\, encouraging scientific and technical discussion and strengthening links between groups. \nThese events are designed especially for our staff\, but everyone is invited to join through our streaming broadcast. \nThis new format will begin at 10:00 in the IIM-CSIC Assembly Hall\, and will include complimentary coffee (“Espresso”) to help communication flow smoothly. \nThis time we will meet our colleague Isabel Fuentes\, PhD in Statistics and Operations Research from the Organic Biogeochemistry Laboratory (IIM-CSIC). \nThe role of statistics in marine research\nThe Institute of Marine Research (IIM-CSIC) is a multidisciplinary centre where topics ranging from the physical and chemical characteristics of the ocean to the food it provides are studied\, with special attention to the impact of human activity on the oceans in the current context of climate change. \nFrom a statistical point of view\, working in a centre such as IIM means dealing with different types of data\, both in size and in “shape”. On the one hand\, we work with large high-resolution databases (Big Data) and small experimental datasets. On the other\, we deal with numerical and categorical variables\, circular data\, functional data\, compositional data\, spatio-temporal data\, point processes and more. The role of statistics in this complex ecosystem is to develop analysis and inference tools adapted to each type of data. This talk will present recent advances in statistical inference for complex data that can help extract as much information as possible from data that\, in most cases\, are very difficult to obtain and are fundamental for continuing to advance in different areas of marine research. \nIsabel Fuentes Santos\nShe holds a PhD in Statistics and Operations Research from the University of Santiago de Compostela since February 2016. Her main research line is non-parametric inference in the framework of spatial point processes\, in collaboration with the Modestya group at USC within projects of the State Research Agency. \nShe has been part of the Institute of Marine Research since 2010 as a member of the ESMABA groups and the Organic Biogeochemistry Laboratory. Her main functions are statistical analysis of oceanographic and mussel-aquaculture data\, development of statistical models\, application of new inference techniques to marine research and statistical support for colleagues in the group. She has participated in European projects focused on the impact of climate change on aquaculture (ClimeFISH) and on the assessment and promotion of ecosystem services from low-trophic aquaculture\, such as mussel aquaculture in Galicia (Aquavitae). She is currently part of PT5 of the Marine Sciences Programme of Galicia.

DESCRIPTION:FOLLOW IT VIA STREAMING  \n(link available on the day of the broadcast) \nThe “Encontros Espresso” are a series of talks held at IIM-CSIC with the aim of helping us get to know each other better\, learn more about the activity carried out at our centre and explore the world of marine science\, encouraging scientific and technical discussion and strengthening links between groups. Both research and technical staff can participate to share their work\, experiences and results. \nThese events are designed especially for our staff\, but everyone is invited to join through our streaming broadcast. \nThis new format will be held every two weeks\, at 10:00 in the IIM-CSIC Assembly Hall and will include complimentary coffee (“Espresso”) to help communication flow smoothly. \nWe open our first Encontros Espresso of 2024 with a visit from Emilio Rolán\, Professor of Genetics at the University of Vigo. \nAcceptance and knowledge of the theory of evolution among students and teachers in Ecuador\nThe theory of evolution is one of the most influential theories in the body of knowledge that describes our civilisation\, and yet it is one of the most disputed theories in many countries by different social groups. \nThe causes that explain the difficulty of accepting this theory are multifactorial and have been discussed for years. They include: \n1. Limited knowledge of how science works\, \n2. Limited knowledge of how evolutionary theory works\, \n3. Strong anti-evolutionary attitudes in some religions. \nA group of Spanish and Ecuadorian teachers developed a voluntary online survey\, which was distributed to hundreds of students and teachers in Ecuador to describe the degree of acceptance and knowledge of this theory. \nThe results show moderate acceptance and low knowledge of evolutionary theory. Students show a slight increase in acceptance compared with teachers\, and teachers also show lower acceptance in the region of Ecuador where more anti-evolutionary beliefs are present. \nEmilio Rolán Álvarez\nHe has been Professor of Genetics at the University of Vigo since 2010. His research has focused on adaptation\, sexual selection and speciation in microevolutionary processes using marine snails of the genus Littorina as model organisms\, through experimental\, genetic and simulation studies. He has also published several reviews in related fields\, such as sympatric speciation in L. saxatilis\, evolutionary studies in Littorina\, colour evolution in gastropods and the use of proteomics as an evolutionary tool. \nHe has worked on the development of new statistical tools for measuring sexual selection and sexual isolation\, and for reviewing the probabilities of statistical tests under multiple testing. \nMore recently\, he has turned his interest towards the impact of evolutionary theory on education\, reflected in his work published in PLOS ONE (https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0238345). In addition\, a website has been developed to disseminate evolutionary theory in Spanish (http://evolucion.webs7.uvigo). gl/index.html).

SUMMARY:Marine Sciences Programme | PT5 follow-up meeting
DESCRIPTION:IIM-CSIC programme page \nTomorrow\, 9 May\, the follow-up meeting for work package PT5 of the Marine Sciences Programme of Galicia (PCCMMG) will take place online. The coordination team is made up of Eva Balsa-Canto (IIM-CSIC) and Moncho Gómez Gesteira (UVigo). \nMultiscale and transdisciplinary marine simulator (PT5)\nThis proposal aims to advance the development of a multiscale and transdisciplinary simulator applicable to the marine environment and aquaculture. The simulator will be an essential tool for integrating data from different sources and generating the knowledge\, framework and evidence needed to address environmental\, social and economic challenges: exploring and predicting the consequences of global change in the marine environment and supporting decision-making for the management of uses and resources. \nThe proposed simulator will integrate artificial intelligence techniques and environmental\, oceanographic\, ecological and economic models at multiple scales. It will enable scenario analysis and ultimately support decision-making that promotes the sustainability of the marine environment and of associated socioeconomic sectors\, fisheries and aquaculture\, for future generations. \n\nProgramming the simulator requires the integration of multiple high-quality datasets and the development of ad hoc numerical\, theoretical and computational methods. For this reason\, we propose a phased approach\, in three actions or proof-of-concept exercises\, which provides a realistic pathway and lays the foundations for the future multiscale and transdisciplinary marine simulator. \nAction 1 focuses on developing a simulator for extreme events and their effects. AI techniques will be used to establish predictive models to detect meteorological and hydrodynamic patterns and estimate the evolution of the atmosphere-ocean system at high resolution. The effects of extreme environmental weather events on marine ecosystems will also be modelled. By coupling different numerical simulation models with AI techniques\, the capacity to reproduce coastal hydrodynamics will be improved\, making it possible to forecast low-salinity events with a major impact on marine crops or flooding in inhabited areas. The mobilisation of pollutants into the marine environment\, including those from fires\, urban areas and emerging contaminants\, will also be simulated. The Ría de Arousa will be considered as an applied case. \nAction 2 focuses on developing an end-to-end fisheries model. Existing biophysical models in Galicia will be complemented with higher trophic-level models and socioeconomic modules to develop end-to-end models applicable to Galician fisheries. The model will focus on three species of particular ecological\, economic and cultural importance for Galicia: sardine\, hake and octopus. The resulting models will improve knowledge of Galicia’s marine ecosystem and its interactions with fisheries\, and will allow scenario simulations to assess the impacts of climate-scale changes\, including impacts on commercial species abundance and socioeconomic effects. \nAction 3 focuses on developing two digital twins for integrated multitrophic aquaculture. This action will formulate simulators for two types of multitrophic culture: off-shore systems and IMTA-RAS\, a recirculating aquaculture system. Macroalgae will be present in both types of culture. Physiological models for the species of interest will be defined and integrated\, first into a long-line model that considers hydrodynamic and environmental conditions\, and second into a RAS system. A digital mussel raft will integrate mussel physiological models with oceanographic models. The long-line and raft simulators will be integrated into an off-shore IMTA digital twin to predict the effects of changes in environmental variables on crop quality and productivity in the Ría de Ares\, and to simulate scenarios for crop optimisation. The IMTA-RAS digital twin will address fish-macroalgae-probiotic interactions and enable the rational design of precision IMTA-RAS cultures. \nThe models and software developments from each proof of concept will be made publicly available as far as possible in accordance with FAIR data-management guidelines. \n\nMarine Sciences Programme of Galicia\nIIM-CSIC coordinates\, together with CETMAR and the University of Vigo\, the new Marine Sciences Programme of Galicia\, whose main challenge is the protection and sustainable management of marine ecosystem services and which involves more than 89 Galician research groups. \nThis new strategy will act through three major lines: observation and monitoring of the marine and coastal environment; sustainable\, smart and precision aquaculture; and innovation\, knowledge and opportunities to adapt to change in the marine economy. \n \nThe Marine Sciences Programme of Galicia is one of seven Marine Sciences programmes in the Complementary R&D&I Plans with the Autonomous Communities\, part of Component 17\, Investment 1 of the EU Recovery\, Transformation and Resilience Plan. Its actions are funded through Next Generation EU and the European Maritime\, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (FEMP/FEMPA). \nOn this page you can see more details about the actions associated with the Programme led by the CSIC Institute of Marine Research. \nIIM-CSIC programme page

SUMMARY:Syngnathids Challenge: sightings of seahorses and pipefish
DESCRIPTION:On 8 May\, at 19:00\, an open online information session will take place via Zoom to present the Syngnathids Challenge\, which seeks citizen collaboration in reporting sightings of seahorses and pipefish in order to complete the Atlas of Syngnathids of the Spanish Coast. \nSeahorses (Hippocampus spp.) are protected species included in Spain’s List of Wild Species under Special Protection. The information available on the status of wild populations of these species is very limited\, so it is necessary to collect\, analyse and assess the available information and expand knowledge about them. \nFor this reason\, the HippoDEC project team\, led by the Marine Ecology and Resources Department at IIM-CSIC\, and Observadores del Mar are launching the Syngnathids Challenge. Join the information session! \nREGISTER FOR THE INFORMATION SESSION \nInformation session programme\nDate: 08/05/2024 \n19:00: Presentation of the Hippo-DEC Project | IIM-CSIC \n19:20: Identification of syngnathid species and habitats \n19:45: How to upload observations? | Observadores del Mar – Marine citizen science platform \nThe HippoDEC project\nThe “Hippo-DEC: Diagnosis of the conservation status of seahorses on the Spanish coast\, critical areas and conservation measures” project\, led by researchers Miquel Planas and Jorge Urcera from the Marine Ecology and Resources Department at IIM-CSIC\, has the main goal of assessing the current situation of wild seahorse populations\, vulnerable species included in the List of Wild Species under Special Protection since 2011. The Hippo-DEC project will make it possible to compile\, analyse and assess vital information for the conservation of these species\, as well as to propose protection measures and critical areas requiring special attention. \nThis initiative represents a significant step towards protecting and preserving seahorses on the Spanish coast\, demonstrating the joint commitment of the scientific community and society to the conservation of marine biodiversity. \nThe project involves collaboration with Observadores del Mar\, Fundación Aula do Mar do Mediterráneo\, NGO Oceánidas\, Fundación Oceanográfic de Valencia\, NGO Ambiens\, Palma Aquarium\, Acuario Gijón and the Maritime-Terrestrial National Park of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia. In addition\, the research is funded by the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge under the DGBBD-OAPN-FB-CSIC General Action Protocol on natural heritage\, biodiversity\, forestry and adaptation to global change\, with the aim of identifying priority conservation areas and proposing action measures.

SUMMARY:Madagascar biodiversity and opportunities for marine research
DESCRIPTION:Next Thursday\, 25th April\, IIM-CSIC will host the seminar: “Madagascar biodiversity and opportunities for marine research” by Dr Fanomezana Ratsoavina from the Université d’Antananarivo\, in Madagascar. \nThe part of its joint visit to our country\, both Dr Ratsoavina and her colleague\, Dr Zafimaheri Rakotomalala\, will share the reality of Malagasy research and the opportunities that the island gathers for new research and innovation ventures\, both terrestrial and marine. \n\nMadagascar biodiversity and opportunities for marine research\nMadagascar is in the top 10 of biodiversity hotspots worldwide. Despite the intensive research on the terrestrial realm\, we know little about this biodiversity. Research on the marine environment is scarce in comparison. I will provide an overview of the rich biodiversity found in Madagascar the well the various challenges and dangers that threaten its sustainability. Furthermore\, I will cover several subjects that attract the attention of both national and international researchers. I will also talk about potential new frontiers and promising prospects in the realm of marine sciences and research to broaden the scope of exploration and investigation in this unithat island. \nDr Fanomezana Ratsoavina\nDr Fanomezana Ratsoavina is ‘Maitre of Conferences’ and the Direct for the Mention of Zoologie et Biodiversité Animale (Mention of Zoology and Animal Biodiversity) at the University of Antananarivo. Her work is focused on the Malagasy biodiversity\, taxonomy phylogenetics and conservation.  \n\nThis event has been organised by the Integrated Marine Ecology (INMARE) research group of the Institute of Marine Research (IIM-CSIC).

SUMMARY:Marine Sciences Programme | PT7 follow-up meeting
DESCRIPTION:PCCMMG website \nOn Thursday 18 April\, the follow-up meeting for PT7 within the Marine Sciences Programme of Galicia (PCCMMG) will take place at CETMAR. The coordination team will include Jose Manuel Fernández Babarro\, EsMaBa (IIM-CSIC)\, and Antonio Villalba García\, CIMA-Corón (CIMA) (PTE). \nDeveloping tools to improve sustainable shellfish production (PT7)\nShellfishing and bivalve-mollusc aquaculture in Galicia are interdependent\, and the sustainability and improvement of bivalve production require coordinated actions in both areas. Aquaculture and shellfishing rely on sedentary benthic resources with complex life cycles and spatial structures\, which makes these key sectors of Galicia’s marine economy highly variable and still difficult to predict. This is especially true of spatial and temporal variability in recruitment\, which determines seed availability for grow-out in shellfish beds and farming facilities\, and for restocking natural beds. The overall aim of this work package is to provide procedures and tools to guarantee a sustainable supply of seed and strengthen bivalve aquaculture within the sustainable exploitation of Galicia’s natural resources\, addressing both recruitment in the natural environment (Action 1) and hatchery production (Action 2). Work will focus on three priority species: mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis\, grooved carpet shell Ruditapes decussatus and pullet carpet shell Venerupis corrugata. The results will serve as a reference for future protocols applicable to other species. \n\nAction 1. The objective is to create site-specific tools to effectively manage the natural supply of bivalve seed. Current stock monitoring networks will be assessed and improved where necessary\, and new methodologies will be developed to evaluate key demographic parameters such as larval abundance and reproductive capacity. Emerging techniques such as natural trace-element marking and numerical modelling will be used to create connectivity matrices and identify key source-sink populations under different climate scenarios. This information will feed into a metapopulation model to predict larval dispersal and population dynamics\, and will be integrated into an open Geographic Information System for decision-making in resource management. \nAction 2. The objective is to optimise hatchery seed-production protocols for grooved carpet shell and pullet carpet shell\, ensuring the supply of high-quality seed for grow-out and strengthening the resilience of exploited shellfish beds. Planned tasks include reliable broodstock conditioning protocols\, spawning induction and cryopreservation of gametes and larvae; optimisation of larval and post-larval culture systems\, diets and survival procedures; and detailed study of microbiota and associated pathogens through metagenomics and metatranscriptomics. Reliable hatchery production protocols are essential for future genetic-selection programmes for traits such as disease resistance and tolerance to environmental stress related to climate change. \nOn this page you can see more details about the work packages associated with PCCMMG. \nWork packages \n\n  \nMarine Sciences Programme of Galicia\nIIM-CSIC coordinates\, together with CETMAR and the University of Vigo\, the new Marine Sciences Programme of Galicia\, whose main challenge is the protection and sustainable management of marine ecosystem services and which involves more than 89 Galician research groups. \nThis new strategy will act through three major lines: observation and monitoring of the marine and coastal environment; sustainable\, smart and precision aquaculture; and innovation\, knowledge and opportunities to adapt to change in the marine economy. \n \nThe Marine Sciences Programme of Galicia is one of seven Marine Sciences programmes in the Complementary R&D&I Plans with the Autonomous Communities\, part of Component 17\, Investment 1 of the EU Recovery\, Transformation and Resilience Plan.

SUMMARY:Sea and Past: Accessible Heritage
DESCRIPTION:The Institute of Marine Research (IIM-CSIC) will begin tomorrow “Sea and Past”\, a series of interactive workshops specifically designed for people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias across Galicia\, as part of the “Accessible Heritage” initiative. \nThere will be four workshops\, with small audiences and content adapted to the target public\, focusing on the biodiversity and ecology of bivalve molluscs and traditional technologies for their exploitation\, such as shellfishing and mussel rafts. Participants will connect with memories from the past and receive sensory stimulation\, reinforced through traditional sea songs that will guide the sessions. \nThe workshops were developed in close collaboration with AFAMO\, the Association of Relatives of Alzheimer’s Patients of O Morrazo\, and Fundación Legar\, dedicated to recovering and disseminating Galicia’s musical cultural heritage. \nThe main objective is to establish a link between participants and their memories through sensory\, emotional and cognitive activities. Tactile materials and traditional sea songs will be used to create an experience combining scientific knowledge with emotional connection. \nIn addition to improving understanding of marine biodiversity and Galician cultural traditions\, the workshops seek to provide an inclusive and supportive environment for older people and those facing cognitive diseases. \nWorking closely with specialised associations and paying individual attention to participants’ needs\, we aim to create an environment of care\, respect and affection in each workshop. \nThis project is a joint initiative of the CSIC Scientific Culture Unit in Galicia (Institutional Delegation)\, the Institute of Heritage Sciences (INCIPIT\, Santiago de Compostela) through its Valorisation Unit\, and the Institute of Marine Research (IIM\, Vigo) through its Scientific Culture Unit. \nThe workshops will take place on 14 May in Cee\, 20 May in Moaña\, 10 June in Burela and 12 June in Ribeira. \nProject data\nThis project is funded by FECYT – Ministry of Science\, Innovation and Universities. FECYT code: B-18215. It is part of the project “Annual Coordination of the UCC Network: Accessible Scientific Culture for People with Disabilities at CSIC”\, awarded to the CSIC Deputy Vice-Presidency for Scientific Culture and Citizen Science. \nEntities involved\nThe project includes the participation of several entities\, including the UCC of the CSIC Delegation in Galicia\, responsible for coordination\, the UCC+I of IIM-CSIC and the Valorisation Unit of Incipit-CSIC. Collaborating entities include Federación Alzheimer Galicia (FAGAL)\, AFAMO and other Alzheimer’s and dementia associations in Viveiro\, Burela\, Fisterra and Soneira\, AGADEA\, Fundación Legar and Fundación Alfareiras Terra Teruel (with Incipit). \n
