This summer school, organised by the University of Pavia and the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (USA), is opened to professionals, public/private employees, researchers, master/PhD students with a marine biology background and/or involved in marine bioinvasion monitoring.
Participants will be instructed to monitor ports using the method conceived and successfully applied for over 25 years in the United States by the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center. Moreover, experts of different taxonomic groups will provide lectures and laboratory activities on the identification of the most common fouling species of port habitats, with a focus on cryptogenic and alien invertebrate species.
