Symbiodiniaceae activity enhances larval energy reserves in the mediterranean Gorgonian Eunicella singularis. Mar Biol 173, 7 (2026)] reveals the key role of #microalgae within the Eunicella singularis gorgon, making it possible to provide a sufficient #energy budget to the benefit of coral larvae #resilience through #photosynthesis during a delicate stage of their development 🎯🌀 This science-based research demonstrates the importance of biological #interactions in #reefs and #corals, while improving the understanding of the adaptation of #marine #species to climate pressures 👶🔋The energetic symbiosis therefore begins at the larval stage, well before the formation of the adult colony, unveiling amazing ability of Mediterranean #biodiversity to adapt and persist in the face of #climatechange crisis 📸 © @springer1842_ @springernature @centre_scientifique_monaco - Layout and Contents by: © MonacoEcoArt.com](https://scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/783967960_18622285255048354_4418442801531029387_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=103&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=4bgepNnQHd8Q7kNvwEdOfbX&_nc_oc=AdpDW0bGf277DO-UaU4OMO1Tff_Vkkf1ME4Ar1ecyExTZdb5d4ThL0fEqLjaHy9sP14&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=hQMUhxJSC0jWlyX-LUMhwA&_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQK3hwVQif1OUa9W568Q3TBjIzK2haM0Tz2PkE-I5Mb02f3XWed8Qera65bMYxENcia1Lkp_FA_n&oh=00_AQLrJFFLTta60m_rnvFfwdiBqe-4VeM5EHrE0nV50aTsFA&oe=6AA72ECB)
Monaco's European Week for Waste Reduction focuses on food waste and much more.
Updated: Nov 22, 2024
The European Union regulatory framework is pushing Member States to reduce food waste by the end of 2030, with special regard to processing and manufacturing waste (by 10%) and retail and consumption waste (by 30%). The Principality of Monaco joins for the sixth time the annual European Week for Waste Reduction EWWR #serdmonaco #EWWR #EWWR2024, the most popular week prevention awareness campaign in Europe, under the slogan Waste is Out of Taste - Le Gaspillage est de Mauvais Goût. Thanks to the strong involvement of the public and private sectors, Monaco is committed to raising public awareness and encouraging a radical change in daily life: buying only what you need, preferring local products and being inspired by a more sustainable consumption approach.
Monaco's Department of the Environment (Gouvernement Princier) is being organising a set of targeted initiatives within the Monaco's Semaine Européenne de Réduction des Déchets SERD from the 16th to the 24th November 2024, in conjunction with the celebrations of the Fête Nationale (National Day), on the 19th November. As highlighted by Valérie Davenet, Director of the Environment Department, at the press conference on the 13th November, the SERD hospitality village will welcome Monegasque and visitors from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., on the Promenade Honoré II and in the premises of the Casa d'I Soci, home to many associations in the Principality of Monaco.
The eco village, in partnership with 83 stakeholders like SMA, the Monaco City Council, SMEG, SBM and CHPG, will host fifteen stands and welcome a series of activities, workshops and leaisure events related to waste reduction, food waste, circular economy, reduce, reuse and recycle to raise environmental awareness.
Meanwhile, the Department of the Environment is being organising a collection of used underwear clothing and glasses that each one can give in the appropriate collectors installed outside the Fontvieille Shopping Centre.
A new initiative will involve Monegasque hairdressers who will be invited to keep all the hair cut in order to deliver it to the Association Coiffeurs Justes able to to reuse the organic material as a depolluting solution.
Morevoer, the Oceanographic Museum in collaboration with SBM and a group of renowned Chefs, including the ones at the Hermitage, Louis XV’s and the Monaco's Thermes Marins. Visitors will be able to taste dishes made with seasonal ingredients, avoinding wastege.
In particular, the Mairie de Monaco (City of Monaco) is being sponsoring a series of educational and playful workshops.
On Saturday the 23rd November 2024 the Mùnegu Repair Café will offer visitors anti-waste services for free from 3:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., in collaboration with Repair Café Nice.
Furthermore, Decathlon headquarters in Fontvieille will offer the audience, for the first time, bike minor and routine operations within a professional technical assistance. ***
