The restoration potential of offshore mussel farming on degraded seabed habitat
Due to the artificial structures that accumulate mussels and exclude destructive fishing practices, the seabed could be restored by the installation of mussel farming structure. After four years, there was a significantly greater abundance of mobile taxa compared to the Controls that remained open to trawling. Commercial European lobster and brown crab

Wind turbine power and land cover effects on cumulative bat deaths [PDF]
Wind turbines (WT) cause bird and bat mortalities which depend on the WT and landscape features. The effects of WT features and environmental variables at different spatial scales associated to bat deaths in a mountainous and forested area in Thrace, NE Greece were investigated. Initially, we sought to quantify the most lethal WT characteristic between
