Finally, May 8th will be an important day for the protection of our marine ecosystem. In collaboration with theDepartment of Earth and Environmental Sciences of the University of Pavia, a research project will be launched, just on this date, which aims to test new methods of managing biological invasion with the aim of mitigating the phenomenon at protection of biodiversity.

Nowadays, in fact, navigation is an involuntary vector for the migration of alien species, thus making port areas hot spots for their expansion: these research initiatives are fundamental to understanding the phenomenon and to developing practical solutions to make the sustainable port activity. Special 'bricks' will be positioned in various areas of the port basin for sampling and monitoring of species; customers and, in general, boats that frequent the port will also be invited to preserve its integrity and therefore its functioning.
