Key Points

This research aims to assess the effectiveness of aquatic angiosperm transplants in restoring lagoon ecosystems.
Transplantation of aquatic angiosperms in selected lagoons and pond identified for ecological restoration.
Follow-up monitoring of colonization and ecological impacts was performed after 10 years of initial interventions.
The interventions were part of a larger environmental effort under associated LIFE projects.
Successful colonization of approximately 20 km² of lagoon bottom by native aquatic angiosperms was observed.
Zostera marina, Nanozostera noltei, and Ruppia cirrhosa were the primary species involved in the restoration efforts.
Similar ecological restoration strategies are being implemented in other lagoons in the Po Delta area and Fattibello Pond.

Implication

Investigates environmental restoration using aquatic plants in Po Delta lagoons, suggesting positive ecological impacts.

Abstract

Following the success of aquatic angiosperm transplants in the Venice Lagoon achieved through the Life SeResto project (LIFE12 NAT/IT/000331) which, 10 years after the initial interventions, led to the colonization of approx.20 km2 of lagoon bottomwith Zostera marinaLinnaeus, Nanozostera nolteiHornemannTomlinson & Posluszny, andRuppia cirrhosa(Petagna) Grande, a similar environmental restoration effort was proposed for somelagoonsin the Po Delta (Barbamarco, Caleri, Goro) and for the Fattibello pond in the Comacchio Valleys under the Transfer project (LIFE19 NAT/IT/000264).
