¡Alerta de encuesta!
Nos gustaría contar con vuestra participación, independientemente de vuestro nivel de conocimiento sobre estos ecosistemas.
¡Muchas gracias por vuestra aportación!
¿Cómo percibes el estado de nuestras costas?
¡Tu opinión puede ayudar a mejorar la conservación de nuestras costas! Queremos saber qué piensa la ciudadanía sobre el estado, las amenazas y los beneficios de los ecosistemas litorales españoles.

New research out!
A soil protein can preserve a 14,000-year record of ecosystem change.
GRSP could become a powerful new proxy for reconstructing landscape history and ecosystem health.

Congratulations to Dr. @NicoleRFoster and Dr. Óscar Serrano, finalists of the #ScientistsForNature Challenge 2026 at the 75th @lindaunobel
Their proposal, #ScalingBlueCarbonRestoration, was recognised as one of this year's runners-up
This achievement was made possible thanks to the support of #TheFamiliesForNature and the mentorship of #MichaelBlank and #ManuelLinder.
Special thanks to #JonathanBloch for his contribution to the development of the business model behind the proposal.
UNESCO-designated sites are essential to climate stability.
Researchers from GAME (CEAB-CSIC), Dr Oscar Serrano and PhD researcher Enric Gomis, contributed to the report by supporting the assessment of blue carbon in seagrass meadows within UNESCO-designated sites.
These numbers tell a bigger story.
From climate regulation to biodiversity protection, @UNESCO-designated sites are critical to life on Earth — yet nearly 90% are under pressure.

Seagrass meadows help protect coastlines — and GAME leader Óscar Serrano explains why in a new Mongabay article. Their leaves reduce wave energy and their roots stabilise sediments, acting as a natural defence against erosion.

Fieldwork days in Shark Bay, Australia, with @TidalMoon22 studying local seagrasses
How do we date Posidonia oceanica meadows?
From extracting sediment cores to radiocarbon dating, here we show you how we uncover the age of seagrass meadows that have been growing for thousands of years in the Mediterranean Sea.
The GAME team headed to the beautiful Kerkennah Islands in Tunisia 🇹🇳 for a field trip to study fish and macrobenthic biodiversity in seagrass escarpments in Kerkennah, as part of @EnricGomis ’s PhD research 🐠

"En un context de canvi climàtic, ens interessa molt conservar aquests ecosistemes, que el que fan és reduir el CO2 a l'atmosfera. Volem invertir esforços en conservar-los i entendre'ls millor", explica la Mar Truc 👩🔬 del #CEAB @GAMECSIC @gpaseabots

Amb l'ajuda dels robots aquàtics, es cartografia el litoral per obtenir dades sobre l'estat de les praderies de #Posidonia🌱🌊
L'objectiu d'aquesta prova, és entrenar la #IA perquè els robots aprenguin a treballar de forma autònoma. @GAMECSIC @gpaseabots
