The Italian newspaper La Repubblica (October 3, 2025) highlights the work of CORILA and its commitment to combining scientific research and environmental protection in the Venice Lagoon.
Among the featured initiatives is the Interreg Italy-Croatia Programme project BIOPRESSADRIA, which focuses on protecting the Adriatic’s marine seagrass meadows, key allies against coastal erosion, #biodiversity loss, and #climatechange.
Marine seagrass meadows, such as Posidonia oceanica and Cymodocea nodosa, are a true treasure of the Adriatic: they capture CO₂, protect coasts, enhance biodiversity, and support fisheries.
BIOPRESSADRIA promotes monitoring, awareness, and cross-border cooperation between Italy and Croatia to preserve these valuable habitats and promote a sustainable balance between use and conservation.
A concrete example of how science can drive effective action for environmental sustainability.
