Moreover, it is populated by benthic, demersal and pelagic fish species of high ecologic and commercial value (Coll et al, 2010; DEVOTES Project, 2016).…”

This research presents a set of multi-objective spatial tools for sea planning and environmental management in the Adriatic Sea Basin. The tools address four objectives: 1) assessment of cumulative impacts from anthropogenic sea uses on environmental components of marine areas; 2) analysis of sea use conflicts; 3) 3-D hydrodynamic modelling of nutrient dispersion (nitrogen and phosphorus) from riverine sources in the Adriatic Sea Basin and 4) marine ecosystem services capacity assessment from seabed habitats based on an ES matrix approach. Geospatial modelling results were illustrated and analysed for three biogeographic subdivisions, Northern-Central-Southern Adriatic Sea. The paper discusses model results for their spatial implications, relevance for sea planning, limitations and concludes with an outlook towards the need for more integrated, multi-functional tools development for sea planning.

“…The Adriatic Sea is an epicontinental basin with a low topographic gradient in the north and a deeper shelf further south (Turchetto et al, 2007;Artegiani et al, 1997a). It is located between the Italian Peninsula and the Balkans with the major axis in the northwestsoutheast direction.…”

“…The water mass exchange with the Mediterranean Sea occurs through the Otranto channel where at the surface Ionian Surface Water (ISW) and the Levantine Intermediate Water (LIW) continuously enters the Adriatic. The ISW flows northward along the Croatian coast (Artegiani et al, 1997a;Turchetto et al, 2007;Grbec et al, 2007). Part of the entering water turns westward and recirculates towards the Italian coast.…”

“…Part of the entering water turns westward and recirculates towards the Italian coast. In addition, the discharge of the Po River has a significant influence on the circulation (Artegiani et al, 1997a;Turchetto et al, 2007) leading to the formation of the Western Adriatic Current (WAC) which is colder and less saline than the ISW and flows southward along the western Adriatic coast (Bignami et al, 2007). The Adriatic Sea behaves like a dilution basin in all seasons (Artegiani et al, 1997b).…”

“…Mar. Sci., 16/1, 2015, 180-196 181 of this canyon in sediment transport and water cascading processes has been well documented (Ridente et al, 2007;Trincardi et al, 2007;Turchetto et al, 2007;Rubino et al, 2010) whereas less effort has been devoted to the assessment of its biodiversity. In this respect, the Bari Canyon was explored during the HERMES and HERMIONE cruises, using Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and revealing a CWC community mainly structured by Madrepora oculata and to a lesser extent, by Lophelia pertusa and Dendrophyllia cornigera .…”

Macro- and megafauna were recorded in the submarine Bari Canyon (southern Adriatic Sea, Mediterranean Sea) during an oceanographic cruise carried out in May-June 2012 and an experimental fishing survey conducted in November 2013. During the former, a total of 20 benthic samples were taken using a Van Veen grab at depths between 268 and 770 m and 4 deployments of a baited lander, for about 43 hours of video records, were carried out at depths between 443 and 788 m. During the latter, 8 longline fishing operations were conducted from 338 down to 612 m. Eighty-five living benthic and benthopelagic species were recorded: 29 Porifera, 1 Cnidaria, 2 Mollusca, 11 Annelida, 1 Arthropoda, 19 Bryozoa, 3 Echinodermata and 19 Chordata. A total of 51 species are new records for the Bari Canyon, 29 new records for the Adriatic Sea. Among the Porifera Cerbaris curvispiculifer is a new addition for the Italian Sponge Fauna. The first certain record of living specimens for the bryozoan Crisia tenella longinodata is reported. A total of 6 Mediterranean endemic species have been identified: 4 Porifera and 2 Annelida. The bathymetric range of some species has been extended. New information acquired for deep sea species confirms their importance in the structure of cold-water coral communities. This study has updated the knowledge on the biodiversity of the Adriatic Sea, as well as of the Bari Canyon in particular, one of the sites designated as “jewels of the Mediterranean” for which urgent conservation measures are needed.
