We developed a systematic map (SM) as a useful model to standardise a “minimal informational threshold”. SM allowed to scope and summarise the existing evidence on the effects of off-shore extraction platforms on the Mediterranean marine ecosystem. SM will represent a useful layer for future sustainable strategies. SM allows to grasp the effects on the ecosystem health, depict the most affected components, inform the public opinion. SM highlights knowledge gaps to fill to address the future transnational and cross-border monitoring and management plans.
