Topics Webinar | Anthropogenic Impacts in Marine Coastal Waters: Assessment, Case Studies and Solutions, 26 September 2025
MDPI invites all esteemed experts to join the webinar entitled “Anthropogenic Impacts in Marine Coastal Waters: Assessment, Case Studies and Solutions”.
Marine coastal environments are increasingly vulnerable to anthropogenic pressures such as pollution, habitat degradation and climate change, underscoring the urgent need for regular assessment, careful monitoring and regionally tailored conservation measures. Addressing these challenges requires steadfast collaboration and a multidisciplinary approach, engaging scientific research, technical innovation and the involvement of local communities.
Our distinguished speakers will share diverse perspectives. Prof. Dr. Weiqi Fu will focus on microalgae applications for ecological and biotechnological studies; Prof. Dr. João Pedro Barreiros will discuss the effectiveness of marine protected areas; and Prof. Dr. Pamela Hallock will talk about the role of reef-associated Foraminifera in addressing sea-level rise in Mediterranean waters.
Join us for this insightful session, where innovative research meets real-world solutions, offering valuable perspectives for scientists and practitioners dedicated to marine conservation and sustainability.
We look forward to your participation in this event.
