Course for the transplant of reeds and aquatic phanerogams
The Life Lagoon Refresh project involves, among Conservation Actions , the transplant of seagrass and reeds in the Northern Venice Lagoon.
On July 12th 2019 a training course was organized at the Natural History Museum of Venice in order to involve stakeholders (fishermen and hunters) who will take care of these activities.
The course was held by researchers and professors from ISPRA and DAIS-Università Ca' Foscari of Venice and it involved twenty practitioners. The topics of the course covered general aspects of the project’s purpose and content, specific aspects of biology, ecology and recognition of reeds and aquatic phanerogams as well as intervention methodologies for transplants and effects on fish and bird species.
This theoretical course will be followed by a practical course directly on field in the Venice Lagoon.
