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.

Quantification of contaminant metals including mercury, lead and cadmium in bivalve harvested semiannually in bivalve mollusc coastal and transition production areas in mainland Portugal since the year 2014. These analyzes are part of the National monitoring system of bivalve mollusc production areas and are considered in the classification of these areas and in the decision-making relative to their status. The data is collected according to the Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004.

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.
