	Coastal zone management - Italian Network The transect Gargano-Split in the middle Adriatic (close to the borderline between the middle and souther Adriatic) is exposed to the influences both from the northern and southern Adriatic and its dynamics is controlled also by the topographic effect on the Pelagruža Sill. This Sill is an area with a strong temporal variability of thermoaline structure caused by seasonally dependent circulation in the surface and intermediary layer. VulnErability of the Italian coastal area and marine Ecosystems to Climatic changes and Their rOle in the Mediterranean caRbon cycles (VECTOR-project), The project studies the most significant impacts of climate change on the Mediterranean marine environment and the role of this basin on the planetary CO2 cycle.
