Thursday, February 28, in the Meeting Room of the Livorno Port Center, the activities of the Life SEPOSSO project were presented during the weekly meetings “Thursdays of the Port Center”. The objective is to reinforce the work of spreading the contents of culture and port reality intended as a historical heritage and resource for the future. In the meeting, organized by the Port Authority of the Northern Tyrrhenian Sea (AdSPMTS), the speakers Claudia Bulleri and Francesco Sozzi (AdSPMTS of Piombino) addressed the environmental issues related to port activities and the interactions with the habitat Posidonia oceanica. The focus of the talk was on the objectives of the Life SEPOSSO project, which aims to promote the protection of Posidonia oceanica grasslands and to implement new governance tools to compensate damages caused by coastal works and infrastructures.
The discussion focused on need of improving the governance of P. oceanica transplants, in particular when used as a compensation measure in the context of EIA prescriptions in coastal works. An important step in this sense is to raise the awareness of citizenship about the importance of preserving Posidonia oceanica, recognized at European and national level as a habitat of paramount importance.
