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).This resource shows the geographic distribution of Norway lobster abundancy index (nr. individuals/hour) registered during the DEMERSAL2009 campaign in September 2009.

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.
Location of the sampling stations considered in the analyzes from IPMA's Microbiology Laboratory included in the National Bivalve Molluscs Monitoring System.
The Nazaré Artificial Reef deployed in 2010, covering an area of apr. 3 Km2 was a public project commissioned by the Nazaré Council, with the technical and scientific support of the multidisplinary research team from IPMA.
Limits used for the issuance of Meteorological Forecast Reports for Maritime Navigation in the areas of sea of national responsibility (Mainland Portugal, Azores and Madeira), inserted mainly in METAREA II, according to the standards defined by the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS).
IPMA conducts regularly, since 1996, monitoring campaigns of bivalve molluscs banks that occur in the oceanic coast of the South West zone, in order to assess their condition. These campaigns allow the adjustment of the fishing effort and fishing quotas to the state of resources in order to not compromise its sustainability.This resource shows the geographic distribution of white clam biomass index (g/5 minutes per drag) recorded during the bivalve banks monitoring campaign held in June 2014.
