medDIVERSA, Biodiversity patterns in Mediterranean coralligenous outcrops

The medDiversa project, funded by the Total Foundation, aimed to investigate the current extent of biodiversity of the high diverse coralligenous outcrops of the Mediterranean Sea, detect its changes, and create a scientific platform in developing future scenarios of biodiversity response to global change across large spatial, aprox 36º- 43º latitude, 1000 Km, and mid- to long-term temporal -5 years- scales. During this project, we collected and analyzed data to estimate the diversity of macro-species of algae and invertebrates through photographic surveys by scuba diving.
