Article Synopsis
- The bamboo-coral Isidella elongata is crucial for deep Mediterranean ecosystems and is considered critically endangered due to the negative effects of bottom trawling.
- A modeling approach was used to map the coral's habitat suitability and assess the impacts of climate change and fishing practices, predicting a significant loss of suitable habitats (60% by 2100).
- The study identifies critical areas for conservation efforts in the Mediterranean, linking them to EU biodiversity strategies and emphasizing the need to protect vulnerable marine ecosystems from fishing activities.
