Fortified settlements between Ambracian gulf and Acherontas river in Preveza
(Corresponding) Saltagianni E., Kastaounou S., Gousis C.
Topic:
Environmental impacts of tourism and sustainable tourism development
The prefecture of Preveza is an area that has been an ideal place to live because there are the fields (are necessary for cultivation), the mountains (important for safe landscape), the rivers (are necessary for drinking water and watering the fields) and the sea (for trade and fishing). Such a...Read more

Design-based and model-based estimations of distribution and abundance of dolphin populations in Gulf of Corinth, Hellas
(Corresponding) Karamitros G., Giantsis I., Martsikalis P., Kavouras M., Exadactylos A.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
In recent years a major scientific effort has been focused on the protection of marine mammals. Gulf of Corinth is part of the Natura 2000 network (GR2530007) since 2016, with Special Areas of Conservation and constitutes an important habitat for striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba), bottlenose...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
The Agia Zoni II oil spill: Short-term fate and imprint on the marine ecosystem of the Saronikos Gulf, Greece
(Corresponding) Parinos C., Hatzianestis I., Chourdaki S., Plakidi E., Gogou A.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
Herein we examine the spatial and temporal imprint of the September 2017 Agia Zoni II tanker heavy fuel oil spill on the marine ecosystem of the Saronikos Gulf, Greece. Based on the chemical fingerprinting approach, by means of gas chromatography - flame ionization detector and gas chromatography–...Read more

Holocene record of palaeoclimatic impact in Epanomi coastal lagoon basin, Thermaikos Gulf, North Greece
(Corresponding) Chantzi P., Papadimitriou E., Aidona E., Kantiranis N., Doani S., Vouvalidis K., Almpanakis K.
Topic:
Climpact: national network for climate change and its impacts
Sediment cores of 4m were sampled in Epanoni coastal lagoon basin in Eastern Thermaikos Gulf. Within this study, we present results of Magnetic Susceptibility (MS) measurements and sedimentological analysis (XRD and grain-size distribution) for the first meter EP1-1 aiming to contribute to the...Read more
Simulating the fate of selected PAHs in Saronikos Gulf, Eastern Mediterranean, using a far-field water-quality model.
(Corresponding) Mazioti A., Kolovoyiannis V., Petalas S., Mamoutos I., Potiris E., Krasakopoulou E., Tragou E., Zervakis V.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
The aim of this study is to investigate the distribution of selected Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and predict their fate in the marine area of Saronikos Gulf. A three-dimensional model (Delft3D-FLOW) was used to simulate sea circulation and hydrographic variables (salinity, temperature...Read more
Assessing Marine Litter on beaches and the seafloor in the Saronikos Gulf, Greece
(Corresponding) Kouvara K., Kosmopoulou A., Fakiris E., Christodoulou D., Filippides A., Katsanevakis S., Ioakeimidis C., Geraga M., Xirotagarou P., Papatheodorou G.
Topic:
Marine Litter - Accumulated experience and new perspectives
Marine litter is a pressing environmental issue that requires urgent attention from international and local authorities. The European Marine Strategy Framework Directive emphasizes the need to achieve Good Environmental Status (GES) in European marine waters by 2020, with a specific focus on marine...Read more
Trace Metals in the water column of the coastal zone in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba
Tzempelikou E., Parinos C., Zeri C., Iliakis S., Pavlidou A., (Corresponding) Abualnaja Y.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
In this study trace metals concentrations in the water column are presented along the coastal zone of the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea (Saudi Arabia). This is a baseline assessment of the metal pollution status of the water using trace metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) measurements obtained...Read more
