Overall goal: Participants will get an overview of MAF organisms’ ecological and socio-economic importance.
This workshop will teach participants how to use the geometric morphometric
approach to determine phenotypic differences of MAF organisms (e.g., gastropods)
in response to environmental deterioration. This workshop aims to update participants
on the techniques available for estimating the age and growth of MAF organisms (e.g.,
gastropods). Participants will also learn how to extract the ‘statolith’ for estimating
gastropod age.

COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation.
MAF World aims to develop an integrative vision that will fuel research and steer future policies on crosscutting sustainability-driven issues related to the fragmented governance of benthic ecosystems in coastal and open ocean waters.
