The Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO), belonging to the Higher Center for Scientific Research (CSIC), will build a new research center in Gandia that will take advantage of the successful 13-year long track record of the Joint Unit in Technology for Marine Studies (UTEM), made up of the IEO and Campus Gandia of the Universitat […]
The nesting of loggerhead turtles (caretta caretta) on Valencian beaches has been in the news this summer. It’s no wonder, since up to eight nests have been discovered on our beaches, which is a record high. And the nesting and subsequent hatching of the eggs has been one of the most beautiful spectacles that nature […]
In the last decade, western Mediterranean beaches have been experiencing an increase in the frequency of loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) nestings. This increase may correspond to a process of colonization of the species as a consequence of climate change, something that is considered to be of great importance for their survival due to evidence and […]
“Using passive acoustic monitoring techniques, we’ve detected that the fin whale might be present year round, not just during the summer months, although sightings are more frequent in June and July,” highlighted Eduardo Belda, professor at Campus Gandia (UPV) and principal scientific investigator for the project “Cabo Rorcual: A Study of the Presence and Origin […]

Education in science and applications for the marine and coastal environment The PhD Program in Marine and Coastal Science and Technology is aimed at advanced students with an interest […]
The Mediterranean cultural landscape, a typical agroforestry mosaic landscape, has been maintained for millennia through extensive traditional practices. Its chief attribute is the tremendous large-scale spatial heterogeneity that allows for the existence of ecotonal zones with great diversity in flora and fauna, making this landscape one of the foremost “hotspots” in global biodiversity. However, since […]
