Joint campaigns of the ERSTA and SANDEX projects, the ERSTA project is designed to study seismogenic and tsunamigenic bodies and to prepare a seismotectonic model for the Algarve region, the SANDEX project aims to evaluate the physical impact of sand and gravel extraction on the sedimentary balance and the evolution of the coastline.
Web Map Visualization, INSPIRE (ISO19128-WMS 1.3.0) compliance, of the: delimitation of portuguese coastal monitoring areas, according to the Law nº 236/98 and the European Directive 2006/113/EC concerning the protection of the aquactic environment and improvement of water quality in order to support shellfish (bivalve and gasteropod molluscs) life and growth and thus to contribute to the high quality of shellfish products directly edible by man, as well as the evaluation of the quality of coastal shellfish waters - Conformity according to Directive 113/2006 / EC, excluding the metals silver (Ag) and Arsenic (As), and fecal coliforms; Artificial reef complexes deployed by IPMA off the Portuguese coast, Algarve and Nazaré, to serve as instruments for the revitalization of coastal ecosystems, coastal fisheries management and integrated coastal management.
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.
Nosologic map of the Japanese Shell in mainland Portugal. The health screening of the species population aims the identification and characterization of diseases affecting the Japanese Shell 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.
