Wetlands such as ponds, lagoons, lakes, rivers, and peatlands form an endless world of aquatic ecosystems. In Sardinia, the call to explore these habitats is open this February with the Sardinian edition of World Wetlands Day.
The activities of the COASTRUST project, funded by the European Interreg Euro-MED program, have officially begun in Sardinia. The initiative aims to promote shared environmental management in the Mediterranean's coastal areas, addressing anthropogenic pressures that threaten biodiversity.
World Wetlands Day is celebrated every year on February 2, marking the adoption of the Convention on Wetlands signed on February 2, 1971, in Ramsar, on the shores of the Caspian Sea.
The MEDSEA Foundation has officially joined 73 other international organizations in signing the Camargue Red Alert, a collective call to action to safeguard the Camargue wetlands in France.

Different islands, but similar issues for marine ecosystems, which are heavily threatened by unregulated anchoring from recreational boating and illegal trawling. In Malta, as in Sardinia, the damage is particularly evident in the Posidonia oceanica meadows, an endemic species of the Mediterranean Sea and a crucial habitat for marine life and oxygen production.
Le recenti inondazioni a Valencia sono un esempio tangibile di come gli eventi estremi legati al cambiamento climatico stiano aumentando in frequenza, intensità e durata, colpendo duramente il Mediterraneo, un vero e proprio "hotspot" climatico. In poche ore, piogge torrenziali hanno riversato fino a 490 mm d’acqua, pari alle precipitazioni di un anno intero, saturando il terreno e sopraffacendo i sistemi di drenaggio.
