“…Other studies have focused on foraminifera as proxies to trace the evolution of coastal systems. There are numerous examples only in the Mediterranean area, such as the Elx lagoon (Blázquez and Usera, 2010), the Ebro delta (Cearreta et al, 2016), the plain and delta of the Po River (Fiorini, 2004; Rossi and Horton, 2009; Rossi and Vaiani, 2008), and the Venice lagoon (Serandrei Barbero et al, 1997), together with other coastal areas in Italy (Carboni et al, 2010; Di Bella et al, 2014; Ricci et al, 2006), in sebkhas in Northern Africa (Zaibi et al, 2011), in littoral and marginal marine environments in the coasts of Greece (Avramidis et al, 2013; Drinia and Anastasakis, 2012; Drinia et al, 2014; Hageman, 1979; Koukousioura et al, 2012; Nixon et al, 2009), or in coastal and athalassic basins in Israel (Avnaim-Katav et al, 2013), among many others.…”
