Project workshop Bio-physical Interactions in the Adriatic Sea – presentation of ongoing CSF projects
On February 7 and 8, 2023, in the organization of five projects financed by the Croatian Science Foundation, the project workshop "Bio-physical Interactions in the Adriatic Sea - presentation of ongoing CSF projects“ was held in Dubrovnik. Five ongoing and one submitted project were presented. The projects are involved in the research of: upwelling and downwelling processes in Central Adriatic (PI Mirko Orlić, PMF, University of Zagreb), daily vertical migration of zooplankton in the southern Adriatic (PI Mirna Batistić, Institute for Sea and Coasts, University of Dubrovnik) , the genetic diversity of zooplankton in the Adriatic (PI Rade Garić, Institute for the Sea and Coasts of the University of Dubrovnik), the molecular life of phytoplankton (PI Daniela Marić Pfannkuchen, CIM Rovinj Institute Ruđer Bošković), the oceanographic phenomenon of island trapped waves and its impact on primary production (PI Zrinka Ljubešić, University of Zagreb and the sensitivity of primary production due to climate change (PI Žarko Kovač, University in Split).
A round table was organized and the topics of Changes in the Adriatic Sea ecosystem and Challenges of field research - optimization of methodology were discussed. Total of 9 invited lectures were held. The workshop attended total of 50 participants from Department of Geophysics and Biology of the Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries Split, Institute of Marine and Coastal Research of the University of Dubrovnik, Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale from Trieste, Society of Marine Researchers - 20000 miles, CIM Rovinj of the Ruđer Bošković Institute, Faculty of Physics, University of Rijeka and Faculty of Economics, University of Rijeka.

Kick off meeting was held on 15 - 16 February 2021 at the Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb and via the Microsoft Teams application.
Collaborators had the opportunity to meet, partly live and partly through Microsoft Teams. We agreed on activities for the first project period, decided on sampling design and analysis methods, as well as the laboratories and RV set up,. Due to the current epidemiological situation, and the uncertainty of the next few months, two separate plans have been agreed. One plan when we all can participate on the field trip as it was originaly planned and the other where only croatian team will be able to work on the field due to the travel ban.
