Research
Since the beginning, Miramare has taken shape as an excellent training site for researchers and students, where the research is developed for improving the management of the area as well as for verifying the effectiveness of management choices.
The Reserve provides a natural site, ideal for measuring and comparing the status of environments in disturbed and undisturbed areas. Therefore the scientific activities are mainly focused upon a systematic monitoring of chemical-physical and biological parameters, enabling the Reserve’s staff to check seasonal variations in the community of biological resources and to record any anomaly affecting it.
For this reason big importance is given to the long-term monitoring that provides the data referring to the natural history of the reserve environment, both present and future one, and to the human activity that affects it. These data are necessary to discover and monitor the changes and tendencies of the conditions of the biological, chemical and physical resources.
