MedRecover is a consolidated research group dedicated to the study and conservation of coastal marine ecosystems, primarily in the Mediterranean, but also in other oceanic and maritime regions. The group consists of an interdisciplinary team specializing in areas such as marine biology, ecology, oceanography, fisheries biology, environmental sciences, and engineering.
We work collaboratively across various academic and research institutions, including the University of Barcelona (UB), the University of Girona (UdG), the Institute of Marine Sciences (ICM-CSIC), and the Blanes Center for Advanced Studies (CEAB-CSIC).
Our research focuses on understanding the dynamics of populations, communities, and marine ecosystems, with a particular emphasis on ecologically relevant species such as macroalgae, seagrasses, sessile invertebrates like corals and gorgonians, and fish. Through a comprehensive understanding of ecosystem functioning, we develop strategies for their conservation, restoration, and sustainable use, offering practical solutions to the challenges posed by global change.
OUR MISSION
MedRecover's mission is to contribute to understanding the ecological dynamics and the impact of global change on marine ecosystems while developing tools for the sustainable management and conservation of natural resources. Our purpose is to improve the conservation status of marine ecosystems through rigorous, interdisciplinary scientific research.
OUR VISION
At MedRecover, we strive to maintain our status as a leading research group in the study of marine ecosystems, especially in the Mediterranean. To this end, we place special emphasis on transferring scientific knowledge to society and public administrations, implementing it in public policies to foster social awareness about the urgent need to conserve oceans and seas. Additionally, we aim to improve and develop new management tools to support this goal. Furthermore, we promote conservation initiatives that protect marine biodiversity and encourage the sustainable use of marine resources, including the management of marine protected areas.
