What we are witnessing today are the symptoms of a new situation, a warning that the sea is giving us. A documentary written by Ernesto Azzurro and Manuela D'Amen and produced by the project #MPAEngage, helping Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) to face the consequences of human-induced #climatechange. In this video we illustrate these dramatical changes and present a series of tools, which have been designed to monitor climate-related impacts, assessing climate vulnerability and to develop adaptation plans in collaboration with coastal communities and research bodies.
Footage from the MPAs of Portofino, Tavolara, Zakinthos, Brijuni, Calanques, Cap de Creus, Baix Emporda and a special thanks to Enalya physis for supporting the underwater footage in Cyprus.
