Re a request for authorising research in Spanish jurisdictional waters many thanks

En respuesta a esta solicitud se envió informe el xxx de 20xx, indicando en base a la documentación remitida, entre otros aspectos, que “Teniendo en cuenta la incertidumbre sobre las consecuencias que puede conllevar para el funcionamiento y estructura del ecosistema circundante, y que el despliegue del mesocosmos se propone en un espacio protegido perteneciente a la Red Natura 2000, se informa desfavorablemente su colocación en dicho espacio, y en cualquier otro espacio de dicha red gestionado por esta Dirección General".
Con fecha xxx se ha recibió de la Demarcación de Costas de xxx, escrito en relación a la misma campaña, solicitando informe de compatibilidad y de afección a la Red Natura.

implementation of the mesocosm
Explanation:
I'd never heard of a mesocosmos but it's quite easy to find:

"A mesocosm (meso- or 'medium' and -cosm 'world') is any outdoor experimental system that examines the natural environment under controlled conditions. In this way mesocosm studies provide a link between field surveys and highly controlled laboratory experiments.
Mesocosms also tend to be medium-sized to large (e.g., aquatic mesocosm range: 1 to > 10,000 L) and contain multiple trophic levels of interacting organisms. "

There are other ways of expressing it. In context, you might translate "Teniendo en cuenta que [...] y que el despliegue del mesocosmos se propone en un espacio protegido" as "Taking into account that [...] and the proposal to set up the mesocosm in a protected area".

Of install, as Neil suggests.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Marie Wilson: I found deployment too, but I was trying to work out if that was just used in translations.
1 hr
  -> Thanks, Marie :-) No, I think it's used in real life too, but perhaps we resort to it a bit too often when we have to translate "despliegue". I wouldn't rule it out here, though.
agree  neilmac: Installation/installing might work too....
1 hr
  -> Good idea. Cheers, Neil :-)
agree  Elizabeth Joy Pitt de Morales: My first thought was "deployment", but then I thought it was too literal... but I think I actually prefer "set up".
16 hrs
  -> Thanks, Liz :-) I think I do too. I must confess that I didn't think about "despliegue" enough before answering; I was concentrating too much on mesocosm, and the seductive appeal of a new word.

deployment of mesocosm


Explanation:
Both "deploy" and "deployment" are used in various texts about mesocosm, see references. I think it fits better than "implementation"

Example sentence(s):
  • before and after deployment at the reference site to measure metal deposition
  • tools used within this mesocosm experiment will potentially be deployed
