Monitoring, control and mitigation of proliferations of marine organisms associated with human disturbances and climate change in the Macaronesian Region

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG V-A Spain - Portugal (Madeira - Açores - Canarias (MAC))

Date of latest update: 2022-09-02

Description

Description (EN):

Azores, Madeira and the Canary Islands are the archipelagos that contribute to the European Union. They are also hot spots of marine diversity, with unique communities in European waters. This fact highlights the importance for these regions of carrying out activities and policies aimed at the conservation and management of the seabed. The actions planned in MIMAR are aimed at knowing and dimensioning the changes that are taking place in the habitats of greatest interest or relevance (Natura 2000 Network). New threats to health and human activities will be identified, delimiting for their protection and conservation the resilient elements and providing the necessary tools to mitigate the harmful effects of these changes. This project will comply with the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020; and point 9 of the Aichi Targets of the Convention on Biological Diversity.

Description (ES):

Azores, Madeira y Canarias son los archipiélagos que mayor superficie marina aportan a la Unión Europea. Además constituyen puntos calientes de diversidad marina, con comunidades únicas en las aguas europeas. Este hecho pone en evidencia la importancia que tienen para estas regiones que se lleven a cabo actividades y políticas que tengan como objetivo la conservación y gestión de los fondos marinos. Las acciones previstas en MIMAR están orientadas a conocer y dimensionar los cambios que se están produciendo en los hábitats de mayor interés o relevancia (Red Natura 2000). Se identificarán las nuevas amenazas a la salud y las actividades humanas, delimitando para su protección y conservación los elementos resilientes y proporcionando las herramientas necesarias para mitigar los efectos perjudiciales de estos cambios. Este proyecto dará cumplimiento al Plan Estratégico para la Biodiversidad Biológica 2011-2020; y con el punto 9 de las Metas de Aichi, del Convenio de Diversidad Biológica.
