MARVEL - The MARVEL project is an initiative dedicated to the protection of Madeira’s marine vertebrates. Building on scientific data and accumulated expertise, the project aims to update key information relevant to the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), the Habitats Directive (HD), and the management of the Site of Community Importance (SCI) “Cetaceans of Madeira.” The project will assess the impacts of human activities on marine vertebrates and support decision-making processes that promote the development of sustainable activities and the conservation of this group of animals.
