title: CoCoNet : towards coast to coast networks of marine protected areas (from the shore to the high and deep sea), coupled with sea-based wind energy potential
abstract: This volume contains the main results of the EC FP7 “The Ocean of Tomorrow” Project CoCoNet, divided in two&#13;\nsections: 1) a set of guidelines to design networks of Marine Protected Areas in the Mediterranean and the Black Seas;&#13;\n2) a smart wind chart that will allow evaluating the possibility of installing Offshore Wind Farms in both seas. The&#13;\nconcept of Cells of Ecosystem Functioning, based on connectivity, is introduced to define natural units of management&#13;\nand conservati
