TRETAMARA

Trezze, Tegnue and marine environments of the upper Adriatic: management proposals

Priority Axis 3

Protecting and promoting natural and cultural resources

Specific Objective:

OS 3.2.

Investment Priority:

PI 6d

Typology:

Standard

Overall Objective of the Project:

The main project objective is to promote cross-border cooperation in order to guarantee a good state of conservation of protected species linked to green infrastructure in the cross-border IT-SI area. The project intends to bring to the joint development of green infrastructures in favor of biodiversity and citizens by integrating the concept of services for the ecosystem and the participation of interested parties in integrated management.

Project summary:

The northern Adriatic marine and coastal habitats support an enormous animal and plant biodiversity represented by the biogenic-geogenic outcrops of Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto, dead corallites of Cladocora caespitosa on the Slovenian side and numerous costal ZSC-ZPS. The results of the Trecorala project (Interreg Ita-Slo 2007-13) allowed evaluation of the ecological status of the geo-biogenic formations. They had been recognized as Sites of Community Interest due to the presence of priority habitats such as Coralligenous and rodolite and maerl funds. In Slovenia, the formations in Cladocora caespitosa are located in the marine protected areas of the Natural Monument Punta Grossa and of the Natural Park of Strunjan. TRETAMARA aims to capitalize on previous knowledge, to enhance the best management practices, leading to the drafting of a document supporting the drafting of missing management plans of the coastal and marine SIC areas, and their harmonization at the High Adriatic level, also proposing national and transnational guidelines for integrated management marine-coastal habitats with high ecological value also through targeted actions with a high content innovative.

Main results:

Results of TRETAMARA will help strengthen ecosystem management by improving the conservation of the status of habitats and species contributing to Programme indicators (3.2.A) and (3.2.B). They also will help to define tools for ecosystem services assessment and promotion. Foreseen activities foresee the identification and collection of existing material on habitats and of eventual management plans. Results from all projects implemented in the programme area will be taken into consideration as well as the actions already implemented for the preparation of management plans. Data will be published on the project website and made available as OpenData through WMS and WFS services to partners and public. In addition, cross-border pilot actions supporting biodiversity will be activated and replicated in the areas of each Partner. Actions will be implemented on marine-coastal habitats of high ecological value such as biogeogenic formations of the detrital bottom in the Piran bay, in the neighboring areas of discovery of Cladocora caespitosa and in the coastal areas of Cymodocea nodosa and Zostera marina associated with the presence of Pinna nobilis. According to the output indicator 3.2.3 and involvement of stakeholders and awareness raising on the high ecological value of marine and coastal environments, the categorization and number of participants in events and in educational and dissemination workshops will be detected.
