The Mediterranean fleet, more artisanal, had an easier time returning to work after the health restrictions.

The second edition of the BioMARató-Beaches with life, one of Catalonia's most significant events of citizen science and marine observations, has also been celebrated this year on the island of Tremiti, in Italy. 

A new study in collaboration with the ICM has found that these ecosystems grow towards the main current and are able to self-organize to capture more food.

Modelling of a submarine landslide in the Svalbard Islands indicates that tsunami waves could be more than 4 meters high and reach the coast in 50 minutes.

Once recovered, the animals will be returned to the sea thanks to the collaboration of the fishing sector in the framework of the LIFE ECOREST Project, which aims to restore about 30,000 hectares of deep sea habitats in Catalonia.
