Launch event of the Acquaguard project.
The project, part of the Interreg Italy-Croatia 2021-2027 program, aims to prevent floods and build climate resilience through multi-risk analysis and the implementation of Nature-based Solutions (NbS). AcquaGuard is developed in two pilot areas, one in Italy (Venice lagoon, drainage basin and coastal area) and the other in Croatia (Karlovatz County).
Marine drones for coastal monitoring: the BRIGANTINE project workshop in Venice
On March 13, 2026, the workshop “New opportunities for monitoring the marine environment using surface drones” was held at the CNR-ISMAR headquarters in the Venice Arsenale. The workshop was organized as part of the Interreg Italy-Croatia BRIGANTINE project.
The event brought together public institutions, research organizations, and industry professionals to discuss the role of autonomous technologies—particularly surface marine drones (ASVs)—in monitoring coastal and lagoon ecosystems. Participants included representatives of the Veneto Region, ARPAV, the Municipality of Venice, the Italian Navy, universities and research centers, as well as several private operators active in the maritime sector.
DANUBIUS-RI project. The mission of DANUBIUS-RI is to facilitate and contribute excellent science on understanding the continuum from river source to sea to provide interdisciplinary knowledge and data for the sustainable management, use and protection of river-sea systems.
DANUBIUS-PP Project.
Monitoring of the Yellow-legged Gull in Venice. TG3 RAI. Animal Friends. Episode of 12/30/2023. Service “Coexistence with Gulls” focused on the presence of the species in the historical city center, with an interview with Francesca Coccon, researcher at CORILA, author of the publication “Vademecum on the Yellow-legged Gull in Venice”.
CORILA, in collaboration with Veritas and the Municipality of Venice, has developed a study on the seagull population in Venice, with the publication of a Vademecum. The film “I gabbiani di Venezia” was produced by MACOFILM for Veritas S.p.A.

Rest Coast Project. Widespread restoration activities of the coastal environment and vulnerable coastal ecosystems, such as wetlands or seagrasses, for a reduction in carbon emissions, a reduction of the risks that threaten these environments and an increase in terms of biodiversity.
Rest-Coast Project. From business model to business plans for upscaling NBS costal restoration in the Venice Lagoon.
Rest-Coast Project, third meeting with stakeholders of the Venice lagoon. A shared vision for the Venice lagoon
The activities after two years of research in the Venice lagoon. www.venezia2021.corila.it
Dr. Alberto Barausse takes us to the lagoon to understand the role of sandbanks in the biogeochemical cycles of Z and P. The field operations are carried out within the Venezia2021 research programme. http://venezia2021.corila.it/
Andrea Gambaro, professor at the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, illustrates the activities envisaged within line 2.3 which has as its main objective the knowledge on the state of contamination of the waters, sediments and biota of the Venice lagoon by emerging contaminants.
Stefano Malavasi, professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences, Computer Science and Statistics at the Cà Foscari University of Venice, talks about the underwater noise monitoring operations at the inlets, to understand the effects on the corvina population.
Luca Zaggia, CNR-IGG researcher, responsible for line 1.1, talks to us about how to quantify the sedimentological balance, i.e. a measurement as accurate as possible of the quantities of suspended solid material that passes through the inlets and outlets.
Understanding how salt marshes grow is essential to understand how to allow their survival in a future of regulated lagoon. The professor. Andrea D’Alpaos of the Department of Geosciences and prof. Luca Carniello of the ICEA Department, both of the University of Padua explain the latest results on the study of the altimetric growth of sandbanks.
Dr. Davide Tagliapietra (CNR-ISMAR), Dr. Tamara Cibic and Dr. Rocco Auriemma (OGS – Trieste) show us the field activities to study the responses of microbial, planktonic and benthic communities to hydrodynamic changes and the reduction of water changes and hydraulic connectivity in relation to the operation of the MOSE using different methodological approaches.
Luca Baradello, an expert in seismic investigations of the subsoil, illustrates the aims of the activities aimed at the stratigraphic reconstruction of the subsoil to highlight the architectures of the late Pleistocene and Holocene deposits in the Venice lagoon.
Fabio Pranovi, professor of ecology at the Department of Environmental Sciences, Computer Science and Statistics of the Cà Foscari University of Venice, talks to us about how it is possible to identify and quantify, through the use of acoustic instruments, the flows of biomass that cross the mouths of lagoon port.
