LIFE CALLIOPE
Coastal dune hAbitats, subLittoraL sandbanks, marIne reefs: cOnservation, Protection, and thrEats mitigation
The general aim of the project CALLIOPE is preserving, protecting and mitigating the direct and undirect human threats on coastal dunes, sublittoral sandbanks and marine reefs along the Italian coast of central Adriatic and the north-west coast of Cyprus. In these target areas still occur large dune ecosystems and sublittoral marine habitats but they are seriously threatened by development and tourism activities which cause trampling and dune habitat degradation, removal of dune vegetation at the beach accesses, nautical tourism and fraud fishing and the lack of an effective EC protection of natural coastal resources.
