RTIS Goes Adriatic through science!!
🌍 We are thrilled to announce the participation of the RTIS Network in the prestigious 3rd International Adriatic Biodiversity Protection Conference 2024, known as AdriBioPro2024, taking place in the stunning coastal town of 📌 Kotor, Montenegro from October 1-4, 2024! This gathering serves as a significant platform for experts, researchers, policymakers, and advocates committed to preserving our invaluable marine biodiversity and promoting sustainable practices in the Adriatic region.
The AdriBioPro2024 conference will delve into a wide range of critical topics that reflect the pressing challenges our oceans face in today’s rapidly changing environment. Participants can look forward to engaging discussions and presentations on the following key themes:
🔹 Marine Biodiversity, Systematics, and Taxonomy: Explore the rich diversity of marine life residing in the Adriatic Sea, focusing on the classification and relationship of various species to gain a deeper understanding of our marine ecosystems.
🔹 Climate Change Impacts on Marine Habitats: Address the urgent effects of climate change on marine ecosystems, including rising sea temperatures, ocean acidification, and their implications for biodiversity and ecosystem services.
🔹 Aquatic Alien and Invasive Species: Discuss the growing threat posed by invasive species to native marine life and habitats, examining strategies for monitoring, management, and control to protect local biodiversity.
🔹 Fisheries Resources and Sustainable Fishing Technologies: Examine innovative approaches to sustainable fishing practices that ensure the long-term viability of fish populations, protect marine habitats, and support local communities reliant on fisheries.
🔹 Aquaculture and Blue Growth: Investigate the potential of sustainable aquaculture practices as a solution for food security while fostering economic growth and minimizing environmental impacts within the blue economy framework.
🔹 Marine Litter, Ecotoxicology, and Water Pollution: Highlight the pressing issues of marine pollution, including plastic waste and chemical contaminants, and discuss the implications for marine life and human health.
🔹 Conservation of Marine Ecosystems & Marine Protected Areas: Emphasize the importance of conserving vital marine ecosystems and the establishment of marine protected areas as a key strategy for safeguarding biodiversity.
🔹 Risk Perception for Marine Ecosystem-Based Management: Analyze how different stakeholders perceive risks related to marine ecosystems and incorporate those perceptions into effective, informed management practices.
🔹 Environmental Education: Advocate for the crucial role of education in fostering awareness and stewardship of marine environments, empowering individuals and communities to take actionable steps toward conservation.
We invite all those dedicated to marine conservation, sustainable development, and ecological research to join us for what promises to be an enlightening and impactful event. Together, let us strengthen our commitment to protecting the marine biodiversity of the Adriatic Sea and beyond.
