FINAL MEETING OF THE ITALY-CROATIA ECOSS PROJECT
FINAL ECOSS project meeting. 18th to 19th May 2021.
Tuesday 18 May 2021
From 18th to 19th May, the third and final meeting of the Interreg Italy-Croatia project “ECOSS: Ecological Observing System in the Adriatic Sea: oceanographic observations for biodiversity " (led by ISMAR) will be held virtually. During the first day of the meeting, the participants will discuss about the main results achieved and the future perspectives of the ECOAdS observatory in the Adriatic Sea, the establishment of which is the main outcome of the project. The second day will be an open event that will foresee the participation of other Interreg Italy-Croatia projects, to identify possible synergies with ECOSS and create future joint actions.
The ECOAdS, shared between Italy and Croatia, integrates ecological and oceanographic research and monitoring with Natura 2000 conservation strategies. To achieve this goal, ECOSS builds upon existing facilities, infrastructure and long-term ecological data to create synergy between marine observation capacities and requirements for achieving and maintaining good conservation status of the marine component of the Natura 2000 sites in the Adriatic Sea.
The project started on 1st January 2019. The overall value of the project is 3.390.551,05 EUR, of which 85% is financed by the European Union through the CBC Programme Interreg Italy-Croatia.
