The proposed Mediterranean Reef Check Species sensitivity (MRC-Ss) index, based on data provided by volunteer scuba divers, may represent a proxy of the mean sensitivity of the assemblages toward the natural and anthropic disturb agents indicated by the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive. Its application may represent the occasion to raise public awareness and enhance the collaboration between coastal management authorities (e.g., MPA managers) and dive centres, through a participatory approach.
