Koutsoubas Drosos
Lectures cover the following topics corresponding to specific teaching hours. Thematic lectures are dedicated to an overview of the scope, methods and outcomes of national and international research projects, so that students can develop an integrated knowledge of the basic theoretical concepts and their actual application at a national, Mediterranean and international level.
- Introduction to biological conservation (3 hours)
- Marine biodiversity in the Mediterranean: value, pressures and threats (3 hours)
- Legal tools of nature conservation (3 hours)
- Tools for evaluating the ecological health status of marine species and habitats (6 hours)
- Marine Protected Areas (MPAs): ecological and socio-economic benefits, design approaches, management and monitoring, ecological criteria and socio-economic parameters (6 hours)
- Non-destructive sampling methods for the monitoring of abiotic parameters, species and habitats within MPAs (3 hours)
- Sampling methods at coastal marine habitats through scientific diving (hard substrates, seagrass meadows) (3 hours)
- Analyses of hard substrate communities through visual census and statistical tools (3 hours).
- Ecological status indices for the evaluation of good environmental status (6 hours).
- Case studies (6 hours)
