C-BLUES seeks to enhance knowledge and understanding of Blue Carbon Ecosystems (BCEs), including emerging BCEs like natural and farmed kelp systems, and increase BCE inclusion in national greenhouse gas inventories and reporting under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. C-BLUES is a Horizon Europe Framework project funded under the Joint EU-ChinaFlagship Initiative on Climate Change & Biodiversity, call for EU-China international cooperation on blue carbon (HORIZON-CL5-2023-D1-02). The project runs from 1 April 2024 - 31 March 2028. 

The BLUEQ project aims to address the critical conservation and management needs of blue carbon ecosystems, particularly the Posidonia oceanica meadows, situated in the Adriatic-Ionian Seas. From biodiversity and fisheries support to shoreline protection and water quality improvement, this species offers ecosystem services that are essential for the well-being of both marine and human communities and has been identified as a priority habitat type for conservation under the Habitats Directive (Dir 92/43/CEE). 

Part of the Amorgorama project, funded by the Blue Marine Foundation and in collaboration with the Agriculture University of Athens, we utilize advaced methods to map the coastal blue carbon ecosystems of the areas of Amorgos that have be declared as Protected Areas under the Fisheries Restricted Areas framework.

Funded by the Green Fund, which is supervised by the Ministry of Environment and Energy, this project aims at exploiting Copernicus Sentinel-2 data for th eestimation of the spectral heterogeneity as a surrogate indicator on the conservation status of selected Natura 2000 habitats of Greece, belonging to the sand dune ecosystems. Available mapping products been defined by vectorial data have been used to develop the relevant method due to absence of suitable field data. The project is funded the Financing Program "NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND INNOVATIVE ACTIONS 2020".

 ECOPOTENTIAL is a large European-funded H2020 project that focuses its activities on a targeted set of internationally recognised Protected Areas, blending Earth Observations from remote sensing and field measurements, data analysis and modelling of current and future ecosystem conditions and services. ECOPOTENTIAL considers cross-scale geosphere-biosphere interactions at regional to continental scales, addressing long-term and large-scale environmental and ecological challenges.
