Contribuições Recíprocas, Bancos de Rodólitos, Florestas de Laminaria, Herbário Histórico, Estreito de MessinaResumo
Os ecossistemas bentônicos do Estreito de Messina, constituídos pelas florestas de Laminaria ochroleuca Bachelot Pylaie, 1824, e pelos bancos de rodólitos, desempenham um papel crucial na promoção da saúde ambiental e humana, oferecendo contribuições essenciais da natureza às pessoas (Nature’s Contributions to People – NCP), como a regulação climática, o fornecimento de alimentos e benefícios psicossociais. Complementarmente a esses sistemas naturais, o Herbário histórico “A. Pistone” documenta as paisagens marinhas algais do final do século XIX e oferece valores culturais, estéticos e educacionais que ampliam o bem-estar psicossocial e fortalecem a memória emocional das comunidades locais. Práticas sustentáveis, como atividades de mergulho autônomo, iniciativas de ciência cidadã e campanhas de sensibilização, são propostas como “Contribuições das Pessoas para a Natureza” (People’s Contributions to Nature – PCN), expressas por meio da gratidão, empatia, afeto, reciprocidade e espiritualidade. Essas ações promovem a saúde mental e física ao reduzir o estresse, fomentar a coesão social e incentivar estilos de vida ativos, ao mesmo tempo em que apoiam estratégias baseadas na natureza para a prevenção de doenças, por meio da conservação da biodiversidade e do aprimoramento da integridade dos ecossistemas. Pesquisas futuras concentrar-se-ão na identificação taxonômica de espécimes de herbário (utilizando DNA barcoding e análise morfológica), em estudos biogeográficos e biocenóticos, bem como em avaliações quantitativas dos serviços ecossistêmicos. Essas análises são essenciais para compreender de que forma esses ecossistemas mitigam as mudanças climáticas, reduzem riscos à saúde ambiental e subsidiam políticas públicas de saúde voltadas à integração dos serviços ecossistêmicos em estratégias preventivas. Para fortalecer a relação ser humano–natureza e promover a saúde integral, abordagens participativas, como oficinas educativas, experiências imersivas e a colaboração entre comunidades pesqueiras e de cultivo de mexilhões, autoridades locais e escolas, constituem componentes centrais de estruturas integradas de conservação e promoção da saúde.
