The METRODIVER project (2020-2023) aims to: 1) model the effects of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) on trophic diversity and functioning, 2) identify aspects of MPA design that influence this relationship and 3) determine to what extent protection of trophic diversity by MPAs drives the delivery of ecosystem services and mediates fish health, and ultimately human health. The MFRC are the Irish partners on this collaboration. METRODIVER is co-ordinated by Le Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS, France) with partners in Université Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium) and Aarhus University (Denmark).
