Web map service with the boundaries of protected sites classified under decree-law No. 142/2008 of 24 July. The protected sites are all inland terrestrial areas, aquatic areas and marine areas where the presence of the biodiversity or other natural occurrences, that with their rarity, scientific, ecological, social or scenic value require specific measures for the conservation and management, in order to promote the rational use of natural resources and the enhancement of natural and cultural heritage, regulating human interventions. This service only includes marine, estuaries and coastal protected sites.
Within Portugal's National Biological Sampling Project (PNAB) a set of activities are conducted in the collection, management and use of biological data, collected from the registered commercial fleet in mainland Portugal (fisheries-dependent data) and several research surveys (independent fisheries data). These activities allow the assessment of the state of fishery resources, population structure, distribution and abundance of resources, diversity and dynamics of biological communities associated with the fishery resources and biological studies (growth, reproduction).Demersal autumn campaigns are usually held in September/October with the ship “Noruega” and cover the full extent of the Portuguese coast (between Caminha and Vila Real Sto António).
This service was prepared for 3rd national report under Article 17 section 1 of the Habitats Directive (2007-2012), corresponding to the to the distribution, through a grid 10 x 10 km, of the natural habitats of comunity interest listed in Annex I of the Habitats Directive, particularly the marine and coastal habitats.
ASTARTE geophysical campaigns aim to collect the necessary information for the assessment, strategy and risk reduction for Tsunamis in Europe.
Web feature service with the boundaries of protected sites classified under decree-law No. 142/2008 of 24 July. The protected sites are all inland terrestrial areas, aquatic areas and marine areas where the presence of the biodiversity or other natural occurrences, that with their rarity, scientific, ecological, social or scenic value require specific measures for the conservation and management, in order to promote the rational use of natural resources and the enhancement of natural and cultural heritage, regulating human interventions. This service only includes marine, estuaries and coastal protected sites.
This web map service corresponds to the level 3 of the natural habitats of comunity interest listed in Annex I of the Habitats Directive. This service only concernes to the marine and coastal habitats.
Notifications concerning marine casualties and marine incidents occurring in the Portuguese territorial waters and in internal waters and with Portuguese flaged vessels in any part of the world.
Earthquakes (epicenters) and areas that mark large submarine landslides of sedimentary material, which caused tsunamis whose impact was recorded on the Portuguese coast.
Web map service with the Biogenetic Reserves Network of the Council of Europe in Portugal mainland. These reserves were integrated into the National Network of Protected Areas, so this dataset at this time has only a historical character.These service relates only to biogenetic reserves that are located in marine, estuarine and coastal environments.
The Tagusdelta campaign had technical and scientific objectives. The main technical objective was to make the proof of concept of the new proposed method for the acquisition of 3D very high resolution seismic reflection data. The accomplishment of this objective included: deployment and data acquisition systems tests; positioning uncertainty assessment; seismic and positioning data processing for the 3D seismic volume generation. From the scientific point of view the main objective was to acquire very high resolution seismic reflection data that allow the characterization of the frontal area of the Tagus ebb-tide delta seismic stratigraphic facies arquitecture. A special focus was placed in the: identification, characterization and mapping of mass wasting features, in order to allow a first trial of the Pleisto-Holocene mapping and chronostratigraphy of these features in the Tagus delta; imaging the morphologies of landslide structures with 3D seismic, particularly in what concerns the landslide already identified with the previous data, to allow the quantification and precise location of the events, to generate data of unprecedented realism that can be fed into the tsunamigenic mathematical models.
