This study aimed to create a field guide for univalve mollusks on Ayoke Island in Cantilan, Surigao del Sur, Philippines. Sampling methods included opportunistic hand-picking and market sampling. Collected samples underwent preliminary identification on-site and were later confirmed in a biology laboratory at North Eastern University, using various resources and expert consultations. A total of 115 mollusk species from 57 genera, divided into 28 families, were identified. Notably, the Conidae family had the most species (20), followed by Cypraeidae (16) and Strombidae (10). The Conus genus within Conidae exhibited the highest diversity with 20 species. Of these species, 88 were uncommon, 26 rare, and only one, Monetaria moneta , fairly common. Ayoke Island demonstrated remarkable gastropod diversity, reflecting its rich marine life. The local community valued marine univalves for their ecosystem contributions. However, challenges in their management and preservation persisted due to non-compliance with regulations. Careful handling and harvesting, following guidelines, are essential for Ayoke Island's marine ecosystem's well-being.","PeriodicalId":7194,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Studies in Biology","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135212391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Europe, approximately 87.6 million tons of food are lost every year. The European Union has intervened on more than one occasion to try to put an end to this phenomenon. In particular, it recently issued the waste directive with which it invited Member States and their citizens to reduce the production of food waste between primary production and distribution; reduce food waste in families and encourage food donations; monitor and evaluate the implementation of the respective food waste prevention measures. The EU has given further impetus to the fight against food loss and waste with the presentation of the European Green New Deal. This also includes the new action plan for the circular economy, with which the European Union has provided for a system for the reuse of discarded agri-food products. In the Farm to Fork strategy, the EU is committed to reducing food waste per capita at retail and consumer levels by 50% by 2030 and to providing tools for the reuse of agri-food waste, again from an circular economic point of view. Italy intends to strengthen the strategic role of the agricultural, food and forestry sectors within the complex national economic system and in the European and international context, starting from the territories in which these activities are concentrated. It is therefore necessary that sustainability e inclusiveness become levers of competitiveness at sectoral and territorial level. To do this, it is necessary transform into value, in particular, the opportunities that can derive from the ecological transition, exploiting the bioeconomy, digitization, the circular economy, the reduction of food waste and agroecology. The objective of this work is to demonstrate how agri-food waste can become a resource and contribute to achieving the objectives set by the European Green New Deal. 92 Mario Peppe and Davide Peppe","PeriodicalId":7194,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Studies in Biology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88783352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
