Analysis of the vulnerability of protected marine invertebrates in the Balearic Islands through genetic analysis of their populations
This project aims to develop a methodology for studying the genetics of selected protected marine invertebrate species in the Balearic Islands. By analyzing the connectivity between their populations, the study seeks to evaluate their vulnerability and resilience to environmental changes. Designed as a pilot project, it will assess the precision and reliability of the results within the marine protected areas of the Balearic Sea, laying the groundwork for a larger research effort in the future. The findings could play a critical role in shaping conservation strategies, species management plans, and the effective planning of protected natural areas.
