Summary:
Invasive species coming from the Suez Canal (named “lessepsian” after Ferdinand de Lesseps, the engineer who built the Canal) often have strong impact on fisheries, marine ecosystems, and health of people populating the Mediterranean basin. [...] "One peculiarity of this experiment apart from the ecological analysis, is that it is an interesting result in terms of Open Science, because every step of our experiment is reproducible and repeatable, thanks to an e-Infrastructure (D4Science) that publishes the processes as Web services, guarantees data access and sharing, and is reusable to supervise the invasion of the Mediterranean Sea by other species" concludes Coro.
