The biodiversity associated with the seagrass meadows of Shark Bay, under the scrutiny of new environmental DNA technologies
The GAME group is participating in an international campaign to assess the biodiversity and natural capital of the seagrass meadows in Shark Bay, Western Australia. BIOSFERA Research & Conservation SL (hereinafter, BIO) received a two-year project from Conservation International Australia to create a "Toolkit for Capital Assessment…
We want to know your opinion about the Spanish coastal ecosystems.
G3ECA launches a survey to understand how the public perceives the state, threats, and benefits of coastal ecosystems. How do we perceive the condition of our coasts? Which threats do we consider most significant? What benefits do coastal ecosystems provide us, and which actions should be prioritised to ensure their conservation? The aim is to respond to…
Scientists discover an "invisible tool" that lasts 14,000 years and reveals the memory of our soils' health
An international team of researchers has identified a soil protein capable of acting as a "biological clock" to reconstruct the health of ecosystems over millennia. The study, published in the scientific journal Catena, demonstrates that the soil protein related to glomalin (GRSP) is preserved in soils for at least 14,000 years,…
The restoration of blue carbon arrives at the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings
Researchers Nicole Foster and Óscar Serrano, members of the GAME group (Group of Aquatic Macrophyte Ecology, CEAB-CSIC), were selected as finalists in the 2026 edition of the Scientists for Nature Challenge: A Quantum Leap for Biodiversity, held as part of the 75th anniversary of the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings. The competition, organised by the initiative Families for…
Europe unites around the first recommendations for seagrass meadow restoration at a continental scale

GAME researchers contribute to the new UNESCO report "People and Nature in UNESCO Sites: Global and local contributions"
New findings reveal the true global value of UNESCO-designated sites and what we risk losing if they are not prioritised. The report "People and Nature in UNESCO Sites: Global and Local Contributions" is a call to raise ambition. It highlights how…
Saving seagrass meadows could help save the world's coastlines.
Seagrass meadows could be one of the most effective solutions to protect coastlines against the advance of climate change. This is highlighted in a recent article published in Mongabay, which emphasises the fundamental role of these ecosystems in reducing wave energy and stabilising sediments. In the…
