MIRAMAR Monitoring cumulative Impact to guide mitigation and RestorAtion in the MediterrAnean Region

MIRAMAR Monitoring cumulative Impact to guide mitigation and RestorAtion in the MediterrAnean Region

The biodiversity of the Mediterranean Sea is under increasing threat from legacy and emerging contaminants, marine litter, noise and light pollution, invasive species and habitat destruction -all of which are driven by growing human activity and intensified by climate change.

In response to this challenge, MIRAMAR is bringing together fragmented knowledge to develop an integrated, cross-border approach to managing multiple environmental stressors. The project aims to generate robust, evidence-based insights to support long-term ecological stability and shared Mediterranean priorities.

The aim of the MIRAMAR project is to develop a joint approach to improve our understanding of, and response to, the combined effects of different environmental pressures on three vital ecosystems in the Euro-Mediterranean region: seagrass meadows, wetlands and habitats of endangered species.

MIRAMAR will design, test, and validate a new holistic monitoring method to identify suitable nature-based mitigation and restoration solutions.

By aligning with regional and national monitoring strategies, as well as the management plans of protected areas, MIRAMAR will tackle the shared challenge of preventing, mitigating and restoring environmental degradation across these vital ecosystems.

Working across nine pilot areas in six Mediterranean countries — Albania, Croatia, France, Greece, Italy and Spain — MIRAMAR will:

  • monitor how multiple stressors affect vulnerable ecosystems
  • test harmonised, innovative methods for data collection and analysis
  • co-develop nature-based solutions for mitigation and restoration
  • align actions with key European, Mediterranean and EuroMediterranean environmental policy framework
