    Record high water levels in Venice, but MOSE is not the solution. “Continuous elevation puts the ecosystem at risk. We need a new model for the Lagoon”

    Quick Summary – Key Takeaways

    Cnr researchers discuss the impact of rising sea levels on the MOSE project, noting that as sea levels rise, the MOSE barriers will need to be raised higher.

    However, this could have consequences as it may disrupt the exchange of genetic material between the sea and the lagoon.

    News Report – The MOSE project

    Venice, Italy – In a recent essay published by CNR researchers Georg Umgiesser and Davide Tagliapietra, concerns were raised about the potential consequences of the MOSE project in Venice as sea levels continue to rise.

    The MOSE project, which consists of a system of barriers designed to protect the city from flooding, has been a topic of debate for years.

    However, Umgiesser and Tagliapietra’s research suggests that as sea levels rise, the barriers will need to be raised higher, potentially disrupting the natural exchange of genetic material between the lagoon and the sea.

    This exchange is crucial for the health of the ecosystem in the Venice lagoon, as it allows for the movement of nutrients and organisms between the two bodies of water. Without this exchange, the researchers warn that the delicate balance of the ecosystem could be disrupted, leading to unknown consequences.

    As climate change continues to impact sea levels around the world, the researchers stress the importance of considering the long-term effects of projects like MOSE. While the barriers may provide short-term protection against flooding, the potential ecological consequences must also be taken into account.

    The essay by Umgiesser and Tagliapietra serves as a reminder that environmental protection and infrastructure projects must go hand in hand, in order to ensure the sustainability of our cities and ecosystems in the face of a changing climate.
