MedRecover has been recognised as a consolidated research group by the Government of Catalonia’s Agency for the Administration of University and Research Grants (Agència de Gestió d’Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca -AGAUR-). The group studies the direct and potential combined effects of global change on the conservation of marine biodiversity in rocky coastal ecosystems, mainly in the Mediterranean Sea.
MedRecover’s main research goals are:
- To assess the impact of strong disturbances associated with global change (i.e. fisheries, invasive species, climate change)
- To develop predictive tools to anticipate the effects of disturbances and the effects of potential management measures
- To identify measures for mitigating the impact of disturbances and to propose specific actions for restoring the biodiversity of coastal ecosystems
- To evaluate the efficiency of conservation measures, in particular the effects of marine reserves
- To study the biology and ecology of endangered species and communities
