Abstract |
The 3-year BIOMAERL programme (1996 -1999), funded by the EC under MAST-III, involved collaboration between five laboratories in four countries (UK, France, Spain, Malta; see partner list above). The project sought to redress the dearth of biological knowledge concerning maerl habitats, and provide information upon which informed management decisions could then be made for this habitat in European seas. Thus it set out: a) to examine W European maerl-bed biodiversity; b) to establish the functional roles played by key elements of the biota; c) to assess the impacts of a variety of anthropogenic disturbances on representative grounds; d) to compile an inventory of NE Atlantic and Mediterranean maerl-bed biota, and e) to develop management guidelines and conservation strategies for European maerl beds. |
