Storm identification and assessment of potential impacts in Rhodes Island, Greece
(Corresponding) Gad F., Chatzinaki M., Vandarakis D., Kyriakidou C., Hatiris G., Kapsimalis V.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Coastal areas are highly dynamic systems, threatened by extreme meteorological phenomena, such as wave storms. Therefore, the analysis of storms is a key element in coastal management, as providing information for the assessment of potential hazards due to such events. In this study a...Read more
Genetic population structure of Scallops going through a rapid population decline in the Eastern Mediterranean
(Corresponding) Metaxatos A., Gazouli M.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Genetic structure of the endemic Pecten jacobaeus of Aegean inferred from mitochondrial 16s DNA sequence analysis was performed. This genetic marker is a powerful tool for measuring genetic variation and gene flow among populations. Valuable scallop stocks were abundant in the past in Euboikos gulf...Read more
Plastic Litter Project 2018: a feasibility study on detecting plastics in the aquatic environment using drones and satellite images
(Corresponding) Topouzelis K., Papakonstantinou A., Garaba S., Doukari M., Chatziantoniou A., Spondylidis S.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Plastic litter has been shown to pose a significant problem in the marine environment and the food chain at all trophic levels. Within the scope of Plastic Project 2018, we investigated the prospective use of imaging technology on airborne and spaceborne platforms in detecting floating plastic...Read more
A study of alkali-activated concrete mixes in seawater environments
Mengasini L., (Corresponding) Mavroulidou M., Gunn M.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
This paper assesses the performance in seawater environment of concrete mixes based on alkali-activated (AA) cements; these are proposed as an alternative to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) to address environmental footprint of cement production and to find new uses for waste materials. The proposed...Read more
Keywords:
alkali activated cement concrete, seawater environment, durability, green construction materials, solid waste management
SeaLoc: A pilot forecasting system providing sea characteristics and other support services on high local resolution
(Corresponding) Kalantzi G., Kotsopoulos S., Panitsidis K., Partozis A.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
SeaLoc project aims in developing an integrated forecasting system with accompanying services for the Greek seas. Further development, however, can facilitate the whole Mediterranean region. It will provide interaction both with specialists as well as with everyday users through the internet and...Read more

Sustainable musselculture activity in terms of hydrodynamics. The case study of Chalastra basin (NW Gulf of Thessaloniki)
(Corresponding) Savvidis Y., Galinou-Mitsoudi S.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Based on the framework strategic guidelines for marine aquacultures, the musselculture section has to be operated in Areas of Organized Aquaculture Development (AOAD). Chalastra (NW Thessaloniki’s Gulf, Thermaikos) produces the 40% of the national musselculture production using pole and longline...Read more
DEVELOPMENT OF CONTINUOUS, LINEAR MODELS FOR MARINE BENTHIC MACROPHYTES DESCRIPTION
(Corresponding) TZOUVARAS N.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
The European Water Framework Directive has fostered indicator development, pertinent to biological quality elements, for ecological status assessment of coastal waters. For seaweed communities, the CFR index considers composition, abundance and physiological status, through four constituents (...Read more

Seasonal variations of water quality and aquatic macrophytes survey based on side scan sonar, in a shallow coastal lagoon (Gialova, SW Peloponnesus, Greece)
PAPAKONSTANTINOU M., (Corresponding) PAPATHEODOROU G., CHRISTODOULOU D., PAPASTERGIADOU E.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Gialova lagoon is located in the north-west of Pylos city (Prefecture of Messinia, SW Peloponnesus) and is part of the Ecological Network “Natura 2000”. The aim of the current research is the assessment of the ecological quality of the lagoon using hydroacoustic technique and the monitoring of...Read more
Benthic litter density maps through low-cost underwater towed video camera surveys. An integrated approach.
(Corresponding) FAKIRIS E., CHRISTODOULOU D., KORDELLA S., GERAGA M., PAPATHEODOROU G.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
The marine environment is the final recipient and digester of litter. Floating and benthic litter constitute the majority of litter items in the marine environment while both remain quite unexploited due to their demand in high-cost and time-consuming surveys. In this paper we propose an integrated...Read more

Linear Bivariate Expressions for Marine Benthic Macrophytes Ecological Status Description
(Corresponding) Tzouvaras N.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Regarding ecological status assessment with marine benthic macrophytic indicators as per European Water Framework Directive (WFD), linear models are being reviewed (either starting from discontinuous forms or modifying quadratic and algebraic forms). Through use of simple concepts, model...Read more
