Aligning socio-economic and governance criteria to support better integration m...
Pegorelli, Camila; Sanabria, Javier García; Andres, Maria de; Onetti, Javier Garcia; Lees, Liisi; Calado, Helena; Gutierrez, DéboraConnecting Marine Spatial Planning (MSP), which adopts a broader management approach, with Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), which focus on environmental conservation, is essential to ensure coherence between these instruments operating within the same marine space. To achieve this, a set of criteria encompassing socioeconomic and governance dimensions was analyzed. However, there is often a lack of comprehensive ...
Navigating trade-offs on conservation: the use of participatory mapping in mari...
Calado, Helena; Gutierrez, Débora; Bruyn, Albane DeMaritime spatial planning (MSP) has evolved to incorporate features like authoritative, participatory, ecosystem-based, integrated, future-oriented, and adaptive approaches. MSP seeks a balance between maritime activities and sustainable development within ecological limits, an ecosystem-based approach (EBA). A trade-off in the context of MSP refers to the compromise or exchange between different objectives, in...
Beyond words: Outreach and science education for Generation Alpha
Gabriel, Daniela; Calado, HelenaIn the last decades, there has been an increase in science education out of the school grounds, as well as growing interactions between researchers and the general public in outreach actions. In this regard, it is important to turn science into something meaningful to the non-academic public, and even involve them in data collection. The communication of science to elementary and middle schoolers is becoming mo...
Evaluation of the Possibility to Use By-Products of Gasification and Carbonizat...
Assis, Ana; Calado, Luis; Panizio, Roberta; Matos, Vítor; Calado, Helena; Brito, Paulo; Mourão, PauloThe search for strategies that contribute to a circular economy, based on the valorization of by-products of the most diverse industries and processes, is one of the main objectives nowadays. This study aims to evaluate the possibility of the by-products valorization, resulting from gasification and carbonization of polymeric residues and biomass of natural origin, through their application in adsorption proces...
A critical approach to existing management perspectives in Scuba Diving: A step...
Hipólito, Cláudia; Gonçalves, Jorge Manuel Santos; Gonçalves, Jorge; Calado, HelenaThere are a considerable number of studies reporting the negative impacts of recreational diving and their causes, yet there is a gap in the information regarding the aspects of activity management. This paper presents a systematic approach to the management measures found in the literature. A large part of the measures identified address stakeholders’ awareness, data on the activity, and implementing adapted m...
Divertir-se a aprender : abordagem interativa na divulgação e educação científica
Gabriel, Daniela; Ferreira, A. Isabel; Calado, HelenaO que é um cientista? Como se faz investigação científica? Quais silo as diferenças entre os diferentes organismos? Onde encontramos esses diferentes organismos? Como os podemos ver em detalhe? Que detalhes devemos procurar? Ou ainda, quando falamos de algas. Quantos tipos de algas existem? Qual a importância das macroalgas marinhas? Que diferença faz. para a vida cotidiana, se as algas silo nativas ou introduz...
CRYPTO Project - What we found so far
Gabriel, Daniela; Fredericq, Suzanne; Teixeira, Carlos E. P.; Calado, HelenaABSTRACT: The presence of non-indigenous species (NIS) is one of the greatest threats to marine biodiversity, presenting potential impacts not only on biodiversity, but also on the economy and public health. When a species is not evidently native or introduced, it is referred to as cryptogenic, an occurrence with consequences for understanding biological invasions. The subregion Azores, with 30% of the EU exclu...
Strategic scenarios for maritime spatial planning in an European outermost regi...
Calado, Helena; Vergílio, Marta; Caña-Varona, Mario; Pegorelli, Camila; Hipólito, Cláudia; Silva, Aida; Carreira, Gilberto; Paramio, MariaThe Maritime Spatial Planning process plans towards a desired future (Vision/Goal). Such vision is usually an integration of various aspirations from different stakeholders and sectors that depend on the related policy/ governance framework. In this sense, a tool such as scenario-building is of paramount importance to MSP once it helps decision-makers visualize the future that might unfold due to specific the a...
Mapping recreational ecosystem services from stakeholders' perspective in the A...
Seijo Núñez, Cristina; Calado, Helena; McClintock, William; Gil, Artur José Freire; Fonseca, CatarinaMapping and Assessment of Ecosystems and their Services (MAES) in Europe’s Outermost Regions (ORs) and Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) is still underdeveloped compared to the European mainland. Most of those territories are small islands for which Marine and Coastal Ecosystems (MCE) constitute a significant resource and provide important provisioning, regulating and cultural Ecosystem Services (ES). U...
Expert knowledge-based co-development of scenarios for maritime spatial plannin...
Calado, Helena; Pegorelli, Camila; Vergílio, Marta H. S.; Hipólito, Cláudia; Campos, Aldino; Moniz, Fabiana; Costa, Ana Cristina; Silva, C. Pereira daScenarios constitute narratives or storylines that reasonably describe how the future is likely to unfold. The usefulness of scenarios in Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) is now recognised within policy and research, with many institutions urging the development of likely trajectories in the future state of the marine environment and space. However, little progress exists in the actual development and applicatio...
