The living coast of Lakonia
Ζωντανή Ακτή Λακωνίας
Zal aims to combine scientific knowledge, local experience, public authorities and coastal communities.
The initiative is currently in the research, feasibility and partnership-development phase. No physical intervention will be implemented before the necessary scientific, legal, technical, financial and local conditions have been assessed.
Posidonia protection
Investigating the condition and distribution of Posidonia oceanica meadows and exploring whether low-impact mooring systems could help reduce anchor-related damage in suitable locations.
Fish monitoring
Exploring scientifically sound methods, including BRUVs — Baited Remote Underwater Video — underwater observations and citizen science.
Local fisheries cooperation
Listening to fishers and other coastal users and exploring whether local knowledge could contribute to future monitoring and participatory fisheries management.
Coastal resilience
Considering how healthy habitats, functioning food webs and responsible coastal management may support the resilience of coastal ecosystems and communities.
