22/06/2026
The Venice Lagoon is a complex and dynamic system in which natural processes and human activities are closely intertwined. This ecosystem is explored through five videos dedicated to key themes such as lagoon habitats, species migrations, traditional fishing, the sea snail, and non-native species, offering a comprehensive overview of the lagoon’s ecology and the main challenges related to its conservation.
The videos were produced through a collaboration between the Institute of Marine Sciences of the National Research Council (CNR-ISMAR) and Laguna Project s.n.c. as part of the digital content production activities for the Biodiversity Gateway. Cover photo: Irene Guarneri (CNR-ISMAR)
