T-MedNet is an initiative aiming to promote and assess climate change warming effects on marine coastal-littoral ecosystems at Mediterranean scale. It aims to spread the acquisition of long-term and high frequency oceanographic time series through partnerships between scientists and MPA managers and to combine physical and biological climate change indicators.
Goals:
• International cooperation for climate change observation and sharing information and expertise to track and assess
warming signals
• Raising awareness and update information available for decision makers
• Sustaining the development of local and regional adaptive management strategies to tackle climate change impacts
on coastal marine biodiversity
Members: Universities, research and oceanography institutes, marine reserves and protected areas, NGO’s, local and regional administrations.
