Lomentaria hakodatensis Yendo, known from China, Japan, Korea, and the Pacific coasts of North America, was recorded for the first time in the lagoon of Venice on the Adriatic Sea in 2000. Specimens in the reproductive stage had tetrasporophytes, male, and female gametophytes. Morphological, anatomical, and reproductive features of the thalli are described and the occurrence of the species in the lagoon is discussed. Data on associated algae are presented. This species was recently found in France, Spain, Russia, the Hawaiian Islands, and Australia.

متن کاملRecent subsidence of the Venice Lagoon from continuous GPS and interferometric synthetic aperture radar
[1] Coastal regions are increasingly affected by larger storms and rising sea level predicted by global warming models, aggravating the situation in the city of Venice where tidal-induced seasonal flooding coupled with natural and anthropogenic subsidence have been perennial problems. In light of accelerated efforts to protect Venice from the rise in sea level we assess land subsidence in the V...
