DESCRIPTION:The Mediterranean is a sea of ​​wonders\, history\, cultur
 e and beauty to be protected and enhanced: a heritage that is celebrated o
 n 8 July through an International Day. With the PNRR's MER (Marine Ecosyst
 em Restoration) project\, ISPRA is building a laboratory to map\, restore 
 and protect one of the richest - and most fragile - marine ecosystems on o
 ur planet with the aim of safeguarding its biodiversity and handing it ove
 r to future generations . The mapping of coastal habitats is already being
  developed thanks to the LiDAR sensor\, one of the pillars on which this p
 rogram is based which intends to trace the seabed on 7\,500 km of coast\, 
 surveying over 70 seamounts and investigating remote and unknown areas. An
 other highlight: the new oceanographic vessel\, the result of joint work c
 arried out thanks to the precious collaboration with the Navy\, which will
  be able to carry out monitoring activities in deep waters. To support mon
 itoring activities\, ISPRA is building the Mobile Oceanographic Research U
 nit (UMRO)\, a sentinel van\, to monitor the state of the sea\, the field 
 of surface currents and measurement of the depth of the coastal seabed. Th
 e strengthening of sea level measuring stations in the lagoons of Venice a
 nd Marano Grado is also underway to predict extreme events and support coa
 stal risk management. All data collected will be accessible through an inf
 ormation platform\, allowing mitigation measures to be planned to address 
 the challenges posed by climate change in the Mediterranean Sea
