About EUROLAG 11

Lagoons, estuaries ad coastal transitional waters play an important, buffering role between terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Those complex, dynamic, and diverse waterbodies are usually under great anthropogenic pressure due to their productivity and location at the coastline at the same time they provide numerous goods and services.

EUROLAG is being held in Iceland for the first time, and we warmly invite contributions from across Europe and beyond. We are particularly interested in research exploring how warming trends and their associated impacts are shaping lagoons and coastal waters, including the growing occurrence of non‑native species.

We welcome studies examining how these changes influence ecological quality elements in lagoon and coastal ecosystems—what we have learned so far, the challenges we face, and the implications for the future. Contributions addressing monitoring, conservation, management, and integrated assessment of lagoons, estuaries, and other transitional waters are also highly encouraged.
