Marine biology assessment is intimately related to physicochemical and biogeochemical parameters and may impact strongly the biodiversity development and distribution from plankton to megafauna. In addition, the spread of pollutants in the Mediterranean basin is having negative impacts on fauna, flora and their habitats. Proliferation of gelatinous zooplancton is a phenomenon involving al the Mediterranean sea, concerted marine research could help to find out common solutions. Following a presentation by the CANA Team, Panelist are invited to discuss research policy, provide case studies and elaborate on opportunities of cooperation towards defining main constraints, finding mitigating solutions, strengthening the sustainability of marine ecosystems and improving the livelihood of coastal communities.
