Geological Map of Portugal, at scale 1:200 000, composed of the sheets published at this scale (Sheets: 1, 2, 4, 6, 7 and 8).
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).The spring acoustic surveys are usually held in April/May with the ship "Noruega" and cover the Portuguese continental waters and the Spanish waters of the Gulf of Cadiz, between 20 and 200m deep.
The ERSTA project intended to study the seismogenic and tsunamigenic bodies and prepare an sismotectonic model for the Algarve region. For this project, in this campaign, was intend to carry out a geophysical survey that will contribute to a more detailed characterization, in the offshore region, of São Marcos-Quarteira and Carcavai faults. The SANDEX project aims to evaluate the physical impact from the extraction of sand and gravel in the coastal sediment balance and evolution of the coastline. The campaign aims to collect bathymetric data that will contribute to monitoring of the impact caused by the exploitation of sand deposits carried off the Quarteira as well as for the assessment of sediment budget of the study area.
Earthquakes (epicenters) and areas that mark large submarine landslides of sedimentary material, which caused tsunamis whose impact was recorded on the Portuguese coast.
The current artificial reefs were deployed, starting with a pilot project in 1990, in order to serve as instrument for the revitalization of coastal ecosystems, planning of coastal fisheries and integrated coastal zone management. Each reef is composed by, at least, 2940 concrete modules with a weight of 3 tons and 36 large modules with more than 40 tons each. The reef complex groups 20,748 modules (with a total volume of over 100,000 m3), occupying discontinuously a total area of approximately 43.5 km2, with an area of influence greater than 67 km2.
Nosologic map of the Pacific Cupped Oyster in mainland Portugal. The health screening of the species population aims the identification and characterization of diseases affecting the Pacific Cupped Oyster and their characterization both as to its epidemiology (incidence, prevalence and intensity of the disease), as to their impact on production. This information is intended to characterize the different production areas of the species from the health point of view.
Stratigraphic and structural model of the Neves-Corvo Region produced in the framework of the SMART EXPLORATION Project, based on geological, geophysical and drill hole data. It has three stratigraphic surfaces: Base of Mértola Formation, Top of Phylite Quartzite Formation, and in the Neves-Corvo mine region, the contact between the upper and lower Volcanic Sedimentary Complex is available.
