How can communities help us better understand marine ecosystems? In this video, researcher Jaume Piera shares how local engagement is transforming data collection in both urban and rural coastal environments.
Citizen Science Driving Coastal Knowledge
From the beaches of Barcelona to the agricultural landscapes of the Ebro Delta, the work highlights how different settings face distinct environmental pressures—and how citizen participation can help capture these dynamics in real time.
At the core of this effort is a growing community of volunteers contributing observations on marine biodiversity. But turning this raw, uneven data into meaningful insights remains a key challenge.
Watch the video to see how citizen science is advancing coastal monitoring and shaping future environmental management.
