Citizen observations reveal the early flowering of Posidonia oceanica in northern Catalonia and the expansion of tropical species such as the Atlantic parrotfish and the sargassum nudibranch.

A study by IEO-CSIC and ICM-CSIC shows that juvenile tuna adapt to the scarcity of traditional prey by replacing sardines and anchovies with horse mackerel.

BioPlatgesMet, promoted by the AMB with the support of ICM-CSIC and the Institut Metròpoli, combines open technology, citizen science and public management to improve the conservation of natural areas.

Researchers propose the creation of “Trust Missions” – programmes designed to enhance citizen participation and ensure stable, long-term support for local organisations.
